Faculty Members

  • Dr. Soumen Das (Chairman, SMST)

    Giving a prior importance to the biomedical sensing research, an interdisciplinary R&D work at SMST has been initiated to promote MEMS and Biosensor activity that encompasses design, fabrication and engineering of biomedical & microfluidic devices for its electro-physiological characterization and development of miniature flexible transducers for healthcare applications.

  • Dr. Koel Chaudhury

    Her team is working towards non-invasive/minimally invasive discovery of disease biomarker(s) for the development of next generation diagnostics. Advanced proteomics and metabolomics approach are being used for this purpose. The emphasis is primarily in the areas of women’s health and respiratory health.

  • Dr. Mahitosh Mandal

    Dr. Mandal along with a team of oncologist, physicist and engineers are trying to determine the changes of molecular, bio-physical and bio-electrical properties in cancer during the transformation from benign to malignant form as well as acquiring chemo resistance.

  • Dr. Manjunatha Mahadevappa 

    To develop advanced medical instrumentation and technologies to study the cortical signals at the whole brain - with the goal of translating the work into practical research and clinical use in stroke, incomplete spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, and ALS.

  • Dr. Raj Kumar Manna

    Research Areas: Biological Physics; Mechanics of Tissues; Collective Cell Behaviors; AI and ML in healthcare; Computational Biology.

  • Dr. Santanu Dhara

    Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering Group has main emphasis on product development research based on fundamental understanding of cell–material interactions and in vivo response.

  • Dr. Nishant Chakravorty

    The Regenerative Medicine lab is utilizing the concepts of cell and molecular biology, biomaterials and tissue engineering to study human pathophysiological condition and attempts to identify therapeutic tools and targets for clinically important conditions.

  • Dr. Gayatri Mukherjee
