We have the pleasure to welcome a new postdoctoral researcher since two weeks, Malay Mahato. Malay is originated from Purulia, a district in West Bengal, India. He completed his PhD at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras in 2023. His research was then focusing on understanding the charge transfer dynamics in a quantum dot-based donor-acceptor system using transient absorption techniques. Subsequently he moved to Indian Institute of Science (IISC) Bangalore, in the group of Dr Anoop Thomas, for a first postdoctoral position where he worked on polaritonic chemistry.
