Biography

Prajnaparamita Dhar is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering. She has her Undergraduate and Master’s degrees in Physics from the University of Calcutta, and Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, India and PhD in Chemistry from the Florida State University, USA. Her lab is focused on interfacial phenomenon in nanomedicine, with a particular focus on developing novel biophysical and biochemical tools to probe the physical rules governing the self-assembly and functioning of biological systems on the nanoscale, i.e., nature's intricate biological structures. In addition, her lab is also interested in designing efficient engineered nanocarriers of drugs that will work effectively within the body for specific treatments of diseased cells and tissues.
