Dr. Abhijit Sen earned his Bachelor\u2019s degree in Chemistry honors from Ramakrishna Mission Residential College, Narendrapur, Kolkata, India. He subsequently completed his M.S. and Ph.D. in Materials Science at the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), Bangalore. His doctoral research focused on structure\u2013property relationships in organic-inorganic halide hybrids, involving the design and synthesis of zero- to three-dimensional hybrid crystals and the study of their dimension-dependent dielectric, optical, and magnetic properties.<\/p>\n
Following his Ph.D., Dr. Sen worked as a Research Engineer III at Saint-Gobain Research India for two years. There, he contributed to new product development, root cause analysis, failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), and competitive benchmarking using sophisticated tools e.g. XRD, microscopes, XRF, TGA, DSC etc.<\/p>\n
Currently, he serves as an Application Scientist at Thermo Fisher Scientific India, overseeing XRF, OES, and XRD application support across India and neighboring regions. As a materials chemist, Dr. Sen possesses a deep understanding of the structure\u2013property relationships in ceramics, metals, organics, and hybrid materials. He brings practical expertise in a wide range of analytical techniques, including SEM, XRD, XRF, XPS, optical microscopy, UV-Vis, PL, FTIR, TGA, DSC, and dielectric and magnetic measurements, to support both research and QA\/QC applications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1017,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":""},"expertise":[311,276,312,313,314],"class_list":{"0":"post-1014","1":"contributor","2":"type-contributor","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"expertise-crystallography","7":"expertise-materials-science","8":"expertise-oes","9":"expertise-xrd","10":"expertise-xrf","11":"entry"},"acf":{"first_name":"Abhijit ","last_name":"Sen","display_name":"Dr. Abhijit Sen","credentials":"Ph.D. in Materials Science, M.S. in Materials Science","job_title":"Application Manager, Bulk Elemental Analyses","company":"Thermo Fisher Scientific","short_description":"Dr. Abhijit Sen is a materials chemist, specialized in various materials properties and advanced characterization techniques to analyze them.
