Biosketch

Suchismita was born in Kolkata (West Bengal, India). She did her bachelor in chemistry honours from Jadavpur University (West Bengal, India) and masters from Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. She did her PhD in Germany under the supervision of Prof. Michael Schmittel (Universität Siegen). After completing her PhD in July 2020, she moved to The Netherlands to join the group of Dr. Sander Wezenberg as a postdoctoral researcher. She joined the Delius group in April 2022 to do her 2nd postdoc. In the free time, Suchismita enjoys photography, doing yoga and reading books.
