EFAML of Dr. Soumyajit Roy Welcome to page of Dr. Soumyajit Roy. Soumyajit is furthermore interested in popularizing science in his mother-tongue Bengali. He obtained his M. R.

Soumyajit Roy, is at present a Professor at Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Kolkata, India and leads Eco-friendly Applied Materials Laboratory, (EFAML) in the Department of Chemical Sciences of IISER-Kolkata. The areas of scientific interests of the laboratory include: Soft-oxometalates (SOMs), Polyoxometalates (POMs), Catalysis, and Supramolecular Sciences. The overarching obj

ective of the laboratory is to understand how simple interactions with time and away from equilibrium can lead to complex materials. Soumyajit was born in Kolkata, India and completed his schooling from Hindu School, Kolkata and later his graduation in Chemistry from St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata. Sc from Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, India and his doctorate with a summa cm laude from Universität Bielefeld, Germany, working with Prof. Achim Müller (2005). He thereafter worked as a post-doctoral researcher at van’t Hoff Laboratory for Colloid & Physical Chemistry, Universiteit Utrecht, with Prof. Willem K. Kegel, in the Netherlands (2005-2007) and at BASF SE’s Polymer Research Laboratory, at ISIS, Strasbourg, France (2007-2009). Before joining IISER-Kolkata he was a Professor at Changshu Institute of Technology, Jiangsu, P. China (2010).

It’s always an inspiration when you have your Teacher visiting you. Today we had the distinct pleasure of a visit by Prof Ashok Ganguli, Director, IISER Behrampore. We had a great time and science was celebrated by his lecture at IISER Kolkata’s Institute Colloquium.

Electric. CO2. Gives Acetone (C3). In a recent work from our group in collaboration with DrSanjib Ganguly and Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Schöfberger led by Nidhi Kumari and Supriyo we have been able to convert CO2 to Acetone with significant efficacy. The work has just been published in Materials Today Catalysis. Now in our repertoire of catalysts this metal free catalyst is the most recent addition. Please read the article if you’re interested in the following link.

We are now able to synergistically silence the site directing influence of functional groups in aromatics in addition to site specific catalysis on a micro-chip. For instance, starting from nitro benzene we can make o- or p- dinitrobenzene instead of usual m- dinitrobenzene. Interested? Please have a look at our recently published Materials Advances article with Ayan Banerjee. It’s free to read.

"Stuff matters". But what is the origin of that stuff or matter or mass? In a rather provocative proposal I put forward an idea of "Time-Gel". What is it? In short the concept gives us a scope to simulate the signature of time in matter. It has the capacity to capture the essence of criticality resulting from spatio-temporal symmetry breaking as it is a 'gel'. We believe that this communication would stimulate experiments in classical domain and will be able to give us some insights on origin of mass (apart from the ideas we already have from QCD and of course from the standard model). Disclaimer: I came up with this concept inspired by the concept of "Time-Crystal" by Frank Wilczek. However "Time-crystal" is a quantum mechanical concept, while "TIme-Gel" I believe, can be tested experimentally in classical systems. Let there be a constructive controversy to test "Time-Gel"s idea and see if it can stand the test of time! This work is free to read for next few weeks, so if you are interested please use the following link.

Can creation of matter be modelled? This communication proposes the idea of Time-Gel to address this question. Using existing framework of temporal dy…
