Biography

Kartik Chandra Mondal received his Ph. D in 2011 from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) under the supervision of Professor Annie K. Powell. He worked on mixed 3d – 4f ion based single molecule magnets. After a short stay as a postdoctoral researcher in the same group he moved to University of Göttingen in October, 2011 – 2015. He has been appointed as an assistant professor at Department of Chemistry, IIT Madras at the end of 2015. Since then he has been working in the research areas given below. Dr. Mondal has coauthored more than 50 peer – reviewed publications in leading scientific journals.
