Biography

Born on 8 November 1957, Maitra secured a PhD in 1986 from Columbia University, working under the guidance of Ronald Breslow and did his post-doctoral studies at the laboratory of Paul A. Bartlett of the University of California, Berkeley. His studies are characterized by the new methodologies he employed in developing supramolecular assemblies and molecular tools like receptors, tweezers and gelators.[5] He has published his researches in a number of peer-reviewed articles; ResearchGate, an online repository of scientific articles has listed 142 of them.[6] he has mentored many doctoral scholars[7] and is involved in initiatives for the popularization of chemistry.[8] He has participated in seminars to deliver plenary/invited addresses, was a member of the Indian delegation at the Indo-German Symposium on Frontiers of Chemistry organized by the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur[9] and is a member of the editorial board of the Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry.[10] The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, the apex agency of the Government of India for scientific research, awarded him the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology, one of the highest Indian science awards, in 2001, for his contributions to chemical sciences.[11]
