Profile

Dr. Satyajit Dey Baruah is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Tezpur College, Assam. He holds a Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from Tezpur University and is involved in both teaching and research. His academic interests lie in the field of catalysis, particularly focusing on the catalytic activities of small molecules on bare and supported platinum-based metal clusters, often studied through computational and density functional theory (DFT) methods. He has been listed as a group member in Catalysis and Molecular Modelling Lab at Tezpur University.
