Dr. Ashim Kumar Dutta holds a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from Jadavpur University, India. He has worked extensively on the characterization of supramolecular assemblies at the air-water interface and on substrates using advanced spectroscopic and microscopic methods, namely, Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), epifluorescence (EFM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and near field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM),

among others. He has thirty-six journal articles and nineteen patents to his credit. He has worked in Japan, Canada, and the United States under various international fellowships. Having started his career with Unilever in their home and personal care category, Dr. Dutta later moved into agrochemicals and worked for United Phosphorus Limited (UPL) and Indofil Industries Limited as their Head of Global Formulations. Presently, he is vice president (R&D) for India Glycols Limited. Dr. Dutta's research interests include novel surfactants, colloidal chemistry, structure-property correlation studies of supramolecular assemblies, and bio-mimetic and bio-inspired supramolecular systems.
