    School of Engineering

    prabhakar

    Position (additional roles) : Coordinator (Career Services for Higher Studies)

    Email : sanmitra.barman@bmu.edu.in

    Sanmitra teaches nanoscience, chemistry, electrochemistry, energy storage, and environmental studies. His research interests include designing and synthesising photocatalysts for water remediation, energy harvesting materials for spectroscopic sensing applications, and photoelectrochemical carbon dioxide reduction. He is working on both molecular and nanomaterials as novel catalytic systems. Apart from teaching and research, he is also looking after the international collaboration of the university and assisting students for higher studies abroad.
