Asim Bhaumik

Asim Bhaumik is an Indian chemist and materials scientist who has worked in the design of novel porous materials for energy and environmental applications.

Education

In 1997, Bhaumik earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the National Chemical Laboratory. Upon completing his doctoral studies, he worked as a JSPS postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Tokyo between 1997 and 1999, and then served as an associate researcher at Toyota Central R&D Labs, from 1999 to 2001.[1]

Academic career and research

He later joined the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science in Kolkata, where he currently serves as a senior professor. Within the Department of Materials Science, he served as Senior Lecturer from 2001 to 2005, Associate Professor from 2005 to 2009, and Professor from 2009 to 2014. As of 2025 he is a Senior professor.[2]

In June 2025, he was appointed Associate Editor of Green Chemistry.[3]

His research focuses on developing novel organic, inorganic, and organic–inorganic hybrid porous materials for energy and environmental applications, creating heterogeneous catalysts for CO₂ fixation into fuels and fine chemicals, and advancing green hydrogen technologies. Bhaumik's publications have received over 29,000 citations, with an h-index of 93 as of August 2025.[4]
