Dr. Shoubhik Das is Professor at the University of Antwerp, Belgium. He has studied in India and finished his MSc from IIT Kharagpur in 2006. Subsequently, he moved to UK to join GlaxoSmithKline. In 2008, he started his PhD under the supervision of Prof. Matthias Beller at Leibniz Institut für Katalyse, Germany. In 2011, he finished his PhD and joined the research group of Prof. Matthew J. Gaunt as a post-doctoral research associate at University of Cambridge. In 2013, Dr. Das moved to EPFL, Switzerland and joined the group of Prof. Paul J. Dyson as a scientist. From 2015-2019 he was an inpedendant researcher at the University in Goettingen, Germany.
