About Me	I, Dr. Sourav Bhattacharya was awarded M.Sc. degree from in Chemistry from Indian Institute Bombay (IIT B) in 2006. After that I completed my Ph.D. degree from IISER-Kolkata on the field of polymer based drug-delivery and sensing of heavy metals in 2015. On completing PhD, I did company collaborated Post-Doc at the same Institute on polymer-based super plasticizer for the development of construction materials. Then I joined as a guest-lecturer in Rabindra Mahavidyalaya Under the university of Burdwan. Getting one year teaching experience, I joined as a DS Kothari postdoctoral fellow under the guidance of Prof. Bimalendu Roy in Burdwan University. Right now I am in Dr. BC B. C. Roy Engineering College, Durgapur since 2021 as a Assistant Professor in the department of Basic Science and Humanities. I have 5years experience in Teaching along with 10 years experience in Research.
Specialization / Research Interest	My current research interest on nanomaterials, polymer-composite, and waste management and Environmental Engineering
