Talk: Chain-folding regulated hierarchical assembly of amphiphilic polyurethanes and functional biomaterials

Suhrit Ghosh was born in 1976 in India. He completed PhD (2005) from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India, under the supervision of Professor S. Ramakrishnan.

Then he moved to the group of Professor S. Thayumanavan at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA, for postdoctoral studies (2005-2007). Subsequently he worked as an Alexander von Humboldt postdoctoral fellow (2007-2008) with Professor Frank Würthner at the University of Würzburg, Germany. In 2008 he joined the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS), Kolkata, India, as an Assistant Professor where he currently holds the position of a Senior Professor in the School of Applied and Interdisciplinary Sciences.

He is a Fellow of the Indian Academy of Science. He is the recipient of the SwarnaJayanti Fellowship (2015) from the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, K. Kishore Memorial Award (2016) from the Society of Polymer Science, India and the Bronze medal (2017) from the Chemical Research Society of India. He has been serving as a member of the Editorial Advisory Board of Macromolecules since January 2021. Research interest of his group includes supramolecular polymers of donor-acceptor π-systems, bio-inspired self-assembly of (bio)macromolecules/ amphiphilic π-systems and functional materials.
