Biography
Dr. Mrinmoyee Basu joined as a DST-Inspire faculty in Department of Chemistry, Birla Institute of Technology & Science, Pilani on 2nd November 2015. Dr. Basu did her Ph. D. in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology from IIT-Kharagpur. During her Ph. D. she worked on synthesis of hierarchical metal chalcogenide nanostructure and their application in catalysis and photocatalysis. She also worked as research associate in IIT-Delhi where she had developed different type-II semiconductor material for the application in photocatalysis. Before getting this DST-Inspire faculty award, Dr. Basu was a postdoctoral fellow in National Taiwan University where She worked on photoelectrochemical solar water splitting.
Research Interest
Synthesis of Different hierarchical nanomaterial,Synthesis of Ultrathin 2D Sheets of different metal chalcogenides, Development of stable and efficient photoelectrode for photoelectrochemical water splitting, Development of suitable material for electrochemical H2 and O2 evolution.
