Rate My Professor Arindam Banerjee

Banerjee's research specializes in peptide-based functional biomaterials, chemical biology, and nanohybrids, with a focus on the self-assembly of peptides into hydrogels and soft materials for applications such as dye removal, heavy metal sensing, antimicrobial surfaces, and optoelectronics. His work has garnered over 10,300 citations, reflecting substantial impact in supramolecular chemistry and materials science. Key publications include 'Facile Synthesis of Water-Soluble Fluorescent Silver Nanoclusters and HgII Sensing' (high citations), 'Self-assembling tripeptide based hydrogels and their use in removal of dyes from water,' and 'A new aromatic amino acid based organogel for oil spill recovery' (Journal of Materials Chemistry, 2012). He has received the C.N.R. Rao National Prize in Chemical Sciences, the Thomson Reuters Research Excellence India Citation Award 2015, Fellowship of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC), and election to the Fellowship of the Indian Academy of Sciences in 2015 under the Chemistry section. Banerjee was also recognized as a 2023 ACS Publications Peer Reviewer and serves on the Advisory Board of Soft Matter journal.
