Dr. Arpita Roy is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the School of Dentistry, University of Michigan, where she develops nanoscale-structured hydrogels and nanocomposites for oral tissue regeneration and therapeutic delivery. She earned her Ph.D. in Chemistry from the Indian Institute of Technology (ISM), Dhanbad, supported by the prestigious DST-INSPIRE Fellowship, and received both departmental and institutional Best Ph.D. Thesis Awards for her research on β-cyclodextrin-based nanocomposite hydrogels. Previously, Dr. Roy was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where she worked on multifunctional bioadhesives, biomaterials, stretchable sensors, and drug delivery systems. Her research integrates polymer chemistry, nanotechnology, materials science and biomedical engineering. She has authored over 20 peer-reviewed publications in high-impact journals such as Advanced Materials, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, and Biomacromolecules.
