Dr. Nanda Dulal Paul, originally from Kamakhyaguri, after completing his schooling from Kamakhyaguri High School, passed B. Sc, with Chemistry (Hons.) from St. Xaviers College, Kolkata in 2005 and completed his M.Sc. in chemistry with Inorganic Chemistry specialization in 2007 from the University of Calcutta. He did his Ph.D. at the Department of Inorganic Chemistry, IACS, Kolkata under the supervision of Professor Sreebrata Goswami from 2007-2012. In July 2012 he moved to the van't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands as an ERC funded scientific researcher. Before completing his tenure as a scientific researcher at HIMS with Prof. Bas de Bruin, he was offered the position of Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemistry, IIEST, Shibpur in November 2013. Since January 2014, he is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemistry, IIEST. He is married to Sutanuva and has two little sons Navayan and Suvayan.
