Biography

Dr. Suvam Kumar Panda received his Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Utkal University, India, in 2015, followed by a Master of Science in Chemistry from North Orissa University in 2017. He then joined the Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar in 2018 to pursue his doctoral studies under the supervision of Dr. Akhilesh Kumar Singh, focusing on the development of MRI and fluorescence contrast agents. After successfully defending his Ph.D. thesis in 2023, he continued his research as a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Sanhita Sinharay at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (2024–2025). In July 2025, he joined the laboratory of Dr. Goran Angelovski in the ICPBR, CEBSIT, CAS, Shanghai, to further advance his postdoctoral research.
