After passing my M.Sc Exam. I joined as a research scholar under Prof. Aparesh Chatterjee and was engaged in the construction of a 14 MeV(DT) neutron generator . On it's completion in June 1986,I joined the Laboratory for Nuclear Spectroscopy, Rudjer Boskovic Institute, Zagreb, Croatia to do research on Heavy Ion reaction mechanisms under Prof. N. Cindro. Returning to India on March 1989, I submitted my Ph.D thesis on the above topics for evaluation to Calcutta University. From Oct. 1990 to Oct.1995 I was a post-doc in Calcutta University. From oct.1995 I am working as a part-time faculty in the post- graduate and under-graduate sections of the Physics Department, Presidency College,Calcutta 700073. I was also a guest faculty in the Inter-University Consortium-DAEF,Calcutta 700091(session 2000). I was the Principal Investigator of a gamma spectroscopy project(no. A21) in the Nuclear Science Centre,N.Delhi.I am empanelled as a Counsellor for Physics in Indira Gandhi Open University (IGNOU). I am interested in space science and technology and its promotion in India. Currently I am the President and Director of the newly formed Kalpana Chawla centre for Space and Nano Sciences, Calcutta ( http://www.kccsns.netfirms.com/index.html ).I am life member of Indian Physics Association, Indian Physical Society,Astronautical Society of India,Indian Statistical Institute,Kolkata
