Susanta Banerjee received his M.Sc., M.Tech., and Ph.D. degrees from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, India, in 1988, 1989, and 1993. He started his research career with the Defence Research & Development Organization (DRDO), Govt. of India, and worked there as a Scientist from 1992 to 2004. Dr. Banerjee was an Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellow at the Technical University Munich from 1997 to 1999. In 2004, he joined as Lead Scientist at GE India Technology Centre (JFWTC), Bangalore, and worked there till the end of 2005. He moved to IIT Kharagpur in 2006 and became a full professor in 2011 in the Materials Science Centre. His research interests include designing polymers and membrane-based applications and carbon dot-based nanomaterials for electroluminescent applications. He has published 245 original research papers that have received more than 7600 citations with an h-index of 48. He has made more than 155 presentations at scientific conferences in India and abroad. He has several (08) granted patents (as an inventor) in his credit. H He is the recipient of several awards and medals. A few of them are the Defence Technology Spin-off Award, GE Management Award, Materials Research Society of India (MRSI) Medal, Prof. M. Santappa Memorial Award, and Fellow of West Bengal Academy of Science and Technology and awarded Institute Chair Professor by the IIT Kharagpur. For the fourth consecutive year (2020, 2021, 2022, 2023), his name appeared in the list of the top 2 percent most cited polymer scientists released by Stanford University. He is well known for mentoring postgraduate students and has supervised 27 Ph.D. and 43 master's students. He handles several extramural-funded research and consultancy projects and collaborates with several research groups in Germany, the USA, and Russia.
