Curriculum Vitae

Santanu Jana

I did doctoral research at the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Sciences, Kolkata in the Dept. of Materials Science under the supervision of Prof. Narayan Pradhan. I have been working on materials chemistry, especially on colloidal nanochemistry and nanotechnology, which covers design and synthesis of different colloidal quantum dots (QDs), doping, halide perovskite QDs, and self-assembly. After my Ph.D graduation, I spent 11 month in Singapore Bio Imaging Consortium as a research fellow. After that, I have moved to Laboratoire de Physique des Solides (LPS), France as CNRS post-doctoral research fellow and Marie Curie individual research fellow on the self-assembly of 2D CdSe nanoplatelets. In 2015, I have received Marie Skodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship from EU Horizon 2020 (DECAGON, 661199), for carried out his postdoctoral research work in LPS, France. From January 1, 2018 I was working as Post-doctoral fellow under Prof. Elvira Fortunato in CENIMAT-i3N, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, where my main work is based on the design of different inorganic semiconductors for electronic applications. In 2019, he won the individual call to scientific employment stimulus (CEEC - 2nd Edition) as a senior researcher. His work mainly involvs colloidal semiconductor chemistry and application in electronics. He has published 34 international high impact journal (ACS Nano, Nano Letter, J Mater.Chem. A, ACS Photonics, ACS Applied Mater. Int. ;Science Advances ) with H-index 19 and total citation now 1723. I am part of three different PRR project BeNeutral, R2U and Fossils to For-ests, where I am leading the development of QD ink displays and fluorescent paint, for different industries, including TMG Automotive, BySteel, Displax, and CITEVE, a textile industry, to develop fluorescent textiles. I've actively contributed to shaping scientific discourse and promoting excellence in research. Where My career profile reflects a commitment to pushing the boundaries of scientific understanding and driving technological innovation for the betterment of society.
