Amit completed his bachelor’s degree in Chemistry and M.Tech. in Chemical Synthesis and Process Technology from the University of Delhi, India. He obtained his MS and Ph.D. in Materials Science from Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Japan. During his Ph.D. he worked on the synthesis of high-performance polymers from biomass. He was awarded MEXT Scholarship from the Japanese Government during his Ph.D. He has worked as an Assistant Professor at the University of Delhi where he not only taught undergrad students but also guided them in research projects. In 2019, he joined JAIST, Japan as Research Assistant Professor where he carried forward his Ph.D. work and also guided Masters and Ph.D. students in Professor Tatsuo Kaneko laboratory. Later he worked as Postdoctoral Research Scientist at the Slovak Academy of Sciences, Slovakia, where he worked with Ing. Igor Lacik, DrSc. on functional polymer surfaces with a focus on surface modification and the study of the properties of biocompatible particles. He worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Chemical Sciences, Bernal Institute, University of Limerick in Dr. Tadhg Kennedy’s group working on an industry driven project titled “Characterisation and optimization of the curing of benzocyclobutene for semiconductor applications. He has since been seconded to Research Ireland where he works as a research project officer.
