DrChiranjib Chakrabarti

Dr. Chiranjib Chakrabarti is a Research Ireland-funded Postdoctoral Fellow in the School of Physics at University College Dublin, working within the Nanoscale Function Group at the Conway Institute. His research focuses on entropy-engineered and lead-free perovskite thin films for next-generation photovoltaic and multiferroic applications, with particular emphasis on structure–property correlations, magnetoelectric coupling, and functional oxide materials.

He holds a PhD in Materials Physics and Chemistry from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (China), where his doctoral research addressed the enhancement of room-temperature multiferroicity in BiFeO₃-based solid solutions. His academic career spans over eight years across Ireland, China, Canada, and India, including roles as Postdoctoral Fellow, Visiting Researcher, and Associate Professor.

Dr. Chakrabarti has published extensively in peer-reviewed international journals and holds granted patents in advanced functional materials. He has successfully secured competitive international funding, including the Irish Research Council Postdoctoral Fellowship. His expertise spans thin-film synthesis, solid-state materials processing, advanced structural and functional characterisation, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Alongside his research, he has significant teaching and academic leadership experience, having delivered undergraduate and postgraduate modules in electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, condensed matter physics, and materials science. He is committed to fostering inclusive learning environments and contributing to academic service, mentorship, and outreach activities.
