Souvik Roy

Postdoctoral Fellow

After completing the undergraduate degree in Chemistry from Calcutta University in India, I moved to United States in 2008 to pursue research in synthetic inorganic chemistry at Arizona State University. In 2013, I received Ph. D. degree in chemistry under the guidance of Prof. Anne Jones. My research involved synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and electrochemical study of new diiron models related to [FeFe]-hydrogenases. I joined the group of Vincent Artero at CEA Grenoble in November, 2013 to work on developing artificial hydrogenases. My projects involve synthesis of diiron models which can be incorporated in proteins to construct functional artificial enzymes.
