Curriculum Vitae

Dr. Indrajit Maity obtained his Ph. D. degree in Chemistry from Indian Institute of Technology Indore (IIT Indore) in 2015 and thereafter he moved to Ben-Gurion University of Negev, Israel for his postdoctoral study. He has joined at Prof Andreas Walther Lab at university of Freiburg in early 2019 after a long-term postdoctoral stay (2015-2019) at Prof. Gonen Ashkenasy Lab in Israel.

He has received several awards in his career including National scholarship in India,  Junior Research Fellowship (CSIR-JRF) and Senior Research Fellowship (CSIR-SRF) in the subject of Chemical Science granted by Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Delhi, India. In 2015, he won the prestigious PBC Postdoctoral fellowship in the subject of chemical science granted by the Planning and Budgeting Committee (PBC) of the Council for Higher Education, in cooperation with the Ministry of Finance, Israel. In 2020, he was awarded with seal of excellence in Marie Curie IF proposal with a high score as 91.2. In the academic year 2020-21, he is a Marie S. Curie FRIAS COFUND Fellow at FRIAS, supported by the European Union through the Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.

He is a synthetic organic chemist with ten years of research experience in the area of supramolecular systems chemistry, physical organic chemistry, material science and nanoscience. His research interests focus on broad range of topics from supramolecular self-assembly to systems chemistry including dissipative system, self-replication, complex reaction networks, non-linear phenomena such as bistability, oscillating reaction networks at out of equilibrium, communicating networks. Currently, he is working on Feedback controlled enzymatic reaction networks, Smart materials under out of equilibrium and molecular machines.
