Aritra Sarkar

Aritra Sarkar is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the group. He obtained his Master’s degree in Chemical Science from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati in 2015, followed by a Ph.D. in November 2020 at JNCASR, Bangalore, under the supervision of Prof. Subi George. His doctoral research focused on developing design strategies for controlled multicomponent supramolecular polymerization and investigating the underlying mechanisms of supramolecular polymerization. In February 2021, Aritra joined the University of Mainz as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the group of Prof. Andreas Walther, where he worked on redox-based chemical reaction networks aimed at creating autonomous and adaptive material systems. In July 2025, he moved to the USA to join the group of Prof. Rein Ulijn, where he is expanding his expertise in systems chemistry. His current research centers on dynamic peptide libraries and their potential to encode and implement memory functions.
