Soumodeep Biswas
About
I am a PhD researcher working on the Nano-Syn-Sens project in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT M), Chennai, India and NTNU, Norway. Currently, I am on an exchange stay at NTNU for 12 months through Erasmus Plus global mobility programme. My research work at NTNU focuses on the continuous synthesis of anisotropic Gold Nanoparticles in a two-phase flow (droplet flow) using millifluidic reactors. I am primarily interested in studying systems involving fluid flow and transport in the confined microenvironment. The main objectives of my PhD work are to carry out controlled synthesis of anisotropic gold nanoparticles in continuous flow millifluidic reactors and to develop a holistic understanding of the mechanism and kinetics of growth through experiments and modelling. The studies are carried out under the supervision of Dr Ethayaraja Mani at IIT M, India and Dr Sulalit Bandyopadhyay at NTNU, Norway.
