Ashta C. Ghosh
Postdoctoral Fellow
Ashta obtained his PhD from the Universität Greifswald (Germany) in 2015, working in the group of Prof. Carola Schulzke. His PhD work focused on the fluorescence-based detection of heavy metal ions using bioinspired dithiolene binding moieties. He then joined as a FNRS postdoctoral fellow in Prof. Yann Garcia’s group at the Université Catholique de Louvain (Belgium) where he was involved in developing thermo or photoswitchable spin-crossover hybrid organic-inorganic frameworks and their smart applications. In September 2017, he then moved to Grenoble to work on a Labex ARCANE funded collaborative project, involving the SolHyCat group and the CIRE, DCM team. His research interests now concern confinement of molecular complexes for catalytic N2 reduction.
