I am Rabindranath Garai, a Fulbright-Nehru Postdoctoral Fellow from India. I earned my Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati. My research focused on investigating multifunctional molecules for efficient and durable polymer and perovskite solar cells (PSCs). At Rice University, I will work with Prof. Aditya Mohite at the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering department. My research project aims to develop high-performance and durable PSCs for commercialization. Other than research, I love running and playing Cricket.
