Sanjit studied MSc in Chemistry at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur, India. He received his PhD from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany, in 2008 (with Prof. Annie Powell). Following PhD he worked as a postdoc at Leiden University (with Prof. Jan Reedijk), Marburg University (with Prof. Stefanie Dehnen) and as a Marie Curie Fellow at University of Liverpool (with Prof. Matthew Rosseinsky, FRS) before moving to National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2013. After lecturing 1.5 years in NUS he joined University of Bradford (Lecturer (2014)- Assoc. Porf (2023)), before moving to University of Bristol as a Senior Lecturer in Sustainable Composite Materials Discovery in 2024.
With his background in chemistry and materials science, his expertise covers a broad range of areas, including porous materials (MOFs, carbon) and their composites for energy (hydrogen storage), environment (carbon capture, agrochemical delivery) and biomedical (drug delivery) applications.
