Conversation with Anindya Datta

He is a physical chemist and a senior professor at IIT Bombay. https://www.adufd.com/people/current-group

He and his research group have made significant contributions to the understanding of the fluorescence dynamics of molecules and nanomaterials.

In this episode, we discuss

• his journey from his early education at institutions like Presidency College and the IACS, lecture at Raidighi, postdoc at Iowa State University, scientist at RRCAT and finally to his current role at t IIT Bombay.
• His experience of learning and interacting with stalwarts of physical chemistry such as Mihir Chowdhury and Kankan Bhattacharyya.
• Experiences as a researcher and educator, discussing his thoughts and motivations.
• Exciting research is being conducted in his lab, where scholars are pushing the boundaries of fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and ultrafast dynamics in nanomaterials.
• Many related strands…

Watch as we humanize science.
