Sneha Banerjee

• Proficient physical chemistry researcher with a strong background in molecular spectroscopy and non-linear optics. Experience in leading and managing R & D projects aimed at understanding of inter-molecular dynamics in condensed phase systems. 
• Excellent communication (written and verbal) skills. Advance knowledge of Microsoft Office, MATLAB, LabView, Origin, Chemdraw, and EndNote.
• Good analytical and critical thinking skills: able to visualize emerging trends and propose data-driven insights.

PhD in Physical Chemistry (2014-2021)

Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Pune, India.

Research Topic: Low-frequency dynamics in complex liquid systems.

• I have expertise in non-linear spectroscopy and have 8+ years of experience in working in an ultrafast spectroscopy laboratory. 
• I have set up and implemented the Optical Kerr Effect (OKE) spectroscopy to probe the ultrafast dynamics in condensed systems. I have also been actively involved in the setup required for generating and detecting THz radiation from ambient air and implementing the THz time-domain spectroscopy (THz –TDS) and the time-resolved THz experiments in our laboratory.
•  I have extensive experience working with ultrafast LASERs, especially with the femtosecond Ti: sapphire lasers and optical parametric amplifiers. 
• I am proficient in the alignment of various optical elements and have expertise in using LabView, Origin, and MATLAB for data collection and analysis. I also have experience working with Lock-in amplifiers for low noise electronic measurements, computer-controlled instrumentation, high-speed data acquisition, and other instruments like UV-Vis Spectrophotometer, and IR spectrometer.
