Dr. Sukanta Mondal earned his B.Sc. in Chemistry from Raghunathpur College (University of Burdwan) in 2006, followed by an M.Sc. from the University of Pune, where he received a merit-based scholarship from NCL (National Chemical Laboratory, Pune) (2007–2009). He qualified GATE and CSIR-UGC NET (JRF).
He obtained his Ph.D. from IIT Kharagpur in 2015 under the supervision of Prof. P. K. Chattaraj. Dr. Mondal completed a postdoctoral fellowship with Prof. G. Merino at CINVESTAV, Mérida, and got the SNI Level-I fellowship from CONACYT (2016).
He returned to India as a SERB National Postdoctoral Fellow (NPDF, 2017) at JNCASR, Bengaluru, to work with Prof. S. K. Pati. Currently, he is Assistant Professor in Chemistry (Stage-II) at Assam University, Silchar.
Dr. Mondal has received the Advanced Research Grant (ARG) from the Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF), Govt. of India, and previously the UGC-BSR Research Start-Up Grant of ₹10 Lakh. He is a Fellow and Life Member of the Indian Chemical Society (2019) and serves as an editor for Frontiers in Chemistry and a reviewer for major international journals.
