Pragyansh Singh
PhD student
Department of Chemical Engineering
Office: Southwick 202B
Email: Pragyansh_Singh@student.uml.edu
Pragyansh will join Fanglin’s lab in the fall of 2023. He completed his M.Sc. (Chemistry) in June of 2022 from IIT Madras. For his master’s thesis, he worked on ab-initio calculation-based modeling of molecular magnets. Thereafter, he joined IISER Kolkata to work on a research project of “Natural transition orbital directed excited state study of molecules in the magnetic field.” His keen interest in working on practical systems with real-world applications has now led him to pursue research in the field of machine learning-based computational electrostatic catalysis.
