Dr. Susanta Hazra received his Ph.D. in 2011 from University of Calcutta, India. From 2012, he has been working as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the group of Prof. Armando J. L. Pombeiro at Centro de Química Estrutural, University of Lisbon, Portugal. Currently he has 49 published articles in ISI journals (h-index = 20 and i-10 index = 34). One of his main research interests is to design and synthesize new multinuclear metal systems (homo- and heterometallic), and exploring their solid (crystal structures and magnetic properties) and solution state properties (luminescence and catalytic properties). Recently he has been developing new organometallic systems (both homo- or heterometallic) and investigating their potential biological activities.
