Bijaya Pathak
Graduate Student
I’m pursuing my PhD from IIT Bombay, Department of Chemistry. I obtained my B.Sc degree from B.Borooah College in 2018 and M.Sc from Banaras Hindu University in 2020. I have joined IITB PhD program in the year of 2020. My research interest includes study of proton transfer reactions under the influence of electric field and gas phase spectroscopy. Apart from the curricular activities I enjoy watching Movies and Web Series. I am an avid Socio- Political enthusiast and love to know what is going around the world.
Prahlad Roy Chowdhury

Shaivi Kesari
Graduate Student
I am a PhD student in the Chemical Physics group of Prof. G Naresh Patwari at Department of Chemistry, IIT Bombay. I obtained B.Sc.(H) degree from Miranda House, University of Delhi in 2019 and MSc degree from IIT Guwahati in 2021. I joined Prof. Patwari’s group in July, 2021 to work in the field of gas phase photodissociation dynamics of organic molecules using laser pump-probe methods combined with Velocity Map Ion Imaging. Simultaneously I am also working on proton transfer reactions in acid-solvent clusters using Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics simulation.

Rupayan Biswas
Institute Postdoctoral Fellow
I completed my Ph.D. in 2023 under the supervision of Prof. U. Lourderaj, NISER Bhubaneswar. My research includes working with Machine Learning methods to fit potential energy surfaces and using classical dynamics simulations to understand energy transfer in gas-surface scattering. Currently I am working on understanding and classifying structures conducive to auto-ionization in water at room temperature. In my spare time I like reading books and interacting with small animals.
Omkar Singh
Institute Postdoctoral Fellow
I am Pursuing my Research in Chemical Physics Group. I obtained PhD from the National Institute of Technology, Karnataka, Surathkal in May-2024. The biological activity of many macromolecules in the cellular environment depends on the individual or combined effect of external factors such as the presence of mono/di-valent cations, water, and temperature. My research work to understand the various interactions, such as protein-protein, protein-water, protein-ions, and the hydration shell properties. Currently I am working on aggregation of Alpha-Synuclein peptide which cause the Parkinson’s disease (PD) via Molecular Dynamics Simulation and Enhanced Sampling Method also including the ANN methods.
Amol Tagad
Institute Postdoctoral Fellow
After finishing my PhD degree with Prof. Naresh Patwari, I am presently working as Institute Postdoctoral fellow and looking at Protein-DNA interactions, specifically in histones.
