Bio-sketch
Dr. Najbul Hoque was born at Bakshipur, West bengal India in 1987. He completed his graduation in chemistry in 2008 from Krishnath college, Kalyani University, WB. Then he moved to Indian Institute of Technology  Delhi (IITD) and received M.Sc in chemistry in 2010. He Then qualified NET-CSIR and GATE and went to Indian Institute of Technology  Guwahati  (IITG) to pursue his Ph.D. His Ph.D thesis entitled with “An Endeavor in Receptor Design for Solid State Recognition of Anions/Hydrated Anions” was completed with Prof. Gopal Das in 2015. He moved to the group of Prof . Ming-Ling Tong at the Sun-Yat Sen University, China for postdoctoral research from 2016-2018. Then He continued postdoc research on the field of molecular magnetism with Prof. Marc Fourmigue and prof. Karl Kramer at the University of Rennes1, France and University of Bern, Switzerland respectively, from the year of 2018-2021. He came back to India very recently and started his independent research and teaching career in the Department of Chemistry at NSUT-Main, Delhi as a Visiting Faculty. His research and teaching interests on functional molecular magnetism and supramolecular chemistry. Area of Interest: Molecular Magnetism. Multi-Functional  Materials (Ferroelectricity+Magnetism).
