Dr. Tushar Kanti Das, born in 1990 in India, is currently an assistant professor at the Institute of Physics—Centre for Science and Education, Silesian University of Technology, Katowice, Poland. He earned his B.Sc. in chemistry (hons.) from Narasinha Dutt College, University of Calcutta in 2011, followed by a B.Tech. in polymer science and technology from the same university in 2014. He received his M.Tech. from the Rubber Technology Centre, IIT Kharagpur in 2016. During his M.Tech., Dr. Das was awarded a DAAD fellowship and conducted research at the Leibniz-Institut für Polymerforschung Dresden e.V., Germany, under Prof. Dr. Manfred Stamm. His project focused on “Nanostructured Graphene Membranes for Catalytic and Environmental Remediation.” He later completed his PhD at IIT Kharagpur under Prof. Narayan Chandra Das, with a thesis titled “Fabrication of Heterogeneous Polymer Nanocomposites for Catalytic Applications.” Dr. Das’s research interests include polymer-stabilized catalytic nanoparticles, heterogeneous catalysis, catalytic membranes, polymer nanocomposites, rubber compounding, conductive rubber composites, and nanomaterials derived from Group 15, 16, and 17 elements.
