About
Dr. Biplab KR Chatterjee is an Assistant Professor of
Physics at the National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU), Gandhinagar, India.
His academic and research interests lie at the intersection of Physics,
Materials Science, Nanotechnology, and Forensic Science, with a particular
focus on forensic nanotechnology, magnetic and photonic nanomaterials,
nanocomposites, functional nanostructured materials, ballistic materials, and
advanced materials for forensic applications.
Dr. Chatterjee obtained his B.Sc. (Honours) in Physics from
the University of Calcutta in 2008, followed by an M.Sc. in Physics (2010) and M.Tech.
in Nano Science and Technology (2012) from Jadavpur University, Kolkata. He
received his Ph.D. in Engineering from Jadavpur University in 2018, with
research focused on nanostructured materials. He qualified CSIR-UGC NET in
Physical Sciences with an All India Rank of 18 and also qualified GATE-Physics,
conducted jointly by IISc and the IITs under the Ministry of Education,
Government of India. During his doctoral research, he was awarded a Senior
Research Fellowship (SRF) by the University Grants Commission (UGC), Government
of India.
His research experience encompasses nanostructured oxides,
nanocomposites, nanomagnetism, photonic materials, electromagnetic and
microwave-interacting materials, ballistic composites, and functional materials.
His current research interests particularly include forensic nanotechnology,
materials for ballistic protection, nanocomposite armour, electromagnetic
interference (EMI) shielding, materials characterization, and the development
of advanced functional materials for forensic, security, and defence applications.
His research contributions have been published in peer-reviewed international
journals of repute, reflecting his continued engagement with interdisciplinary
materials research.
Dr. Chatterjee has more than eight years of teaching
experience and has been actively involved in teaching, student mentoring,
curriculum development, academic administration, and interdisciplinary
research. He is also committed to continuous professional development and has
successfully completed several MOOCs courses offered by
national and international platforms, receiving multiple gold and silver medals.
In 2023, he was recognized as an NPTEL Domain Scholar in Electronic Materials
(40-week course) under the discipline of Metallurgical & Materials
Engineering, coordinated through the IIT Madras NPTEL Chapter and supported by
the Ministry of Education, Government of India.
He is a Life Member of the Magnetics Society of India (MSI),
Hyderabad, and the Indian Physical Society-Indian Association for the
Cultivation of Science (IACS), Kolkata.
Through his interdisciplinary research, Dr. Chatterjee aims
to bridge fundamental materials science and nanotechnology with practical
applications in forensic science, ballistics, security, and defence. His
research vision is directed towards developing and understanding next-generation
nanomaterials, nanocomposites, and functional materials that can address
emerging challenges in forensic investigation, ballistic protection, advanced
sensing, electromagnetic shielding, and related strategic applications.
