About The Department

Situated in the scenic green campus of Adamas University, Kolkata, the Department of Chemistry started its activity in 2015. Our department is uniquely positioned to address critical global challenges by integrating the fundamental principles of chemistry and environmental science, offering students a vibrant academic and research environment with state-of-the-art facilities to explore solutions in sustainability, pollution control, climate change, and resource management. The department encompasses a broad spectrum of academic programs at the Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral levels in both Chemistry and Environmental Science and Sustainability. The programs are designed to prepare students for diverse career opportunities in industries, research organizations, academia, and governmental agencies. 
The chemistry major is designed to take you where you want to go. Chemistry Department, Adamas University offers an innovative curriculum to help students succeed in the chemical industry, academia, medicine, education, and so much more.  With great career and research opportunities, there’s never been a better time to choose Chemistry at Adamas University. The Department has flexibility in framing courses and conducting tests and examinations. The Department conducts programs at the Bachelor’s, Master’s as well as the Doctoral Research levels. The Department of Chemistry is committed to fostering a respectful workplace culture. We endeavor to foster a benign, comprehensive and impartial environment where our, faculty members, staff members, researchers and students can thrive as they advance new chemical frontiers through research, innovation, collaboration and scholarship.
From the classroom to the lab, innovation is always in the air at Adamas University. We are always working to offer students exciting and challenging educational experiences, in and outside the classroom.
In addition to these programs conducted by the Department, the faculties regularly offer several core and elective chemistry courses to the students across the university.
Environmental Science and Sustainability programs under our department are especially crafted to equip students with skills relevant to today’s job market. Key highlights include:
Industry Collaboration: Strategic partnerships with industries for internships, projects, and exposure to real-world challenges.
Regular Industrial Visits: Hands-on learning with visits to industries, pollution control boards, and environmental consultancies.
Ecological Workshops and Field Studies: Practical exposure to biodiversity assessments, ecosystem restoration, pollution monitoring, and sustainable practices.
Qualified Faculty Members: A team of experienced academicians and industry professionals specializing in environmental science, chemistry, and interdisciplinary research areas.
While the B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Environmental Science and Sustainability integrate multidisciplinary approaches to address pressing environmental challenges, the Ph.D. program focuses on advanced research in areas such as climate change mitigation, ecological restoration, ESG frameworks, environmental impact assessment, carbon management, and sustainability strategies.

Our Vision

The Vision of the Department of Chemistry is to generate and disseminate Chemistry education among its pupils such that at individual level, a Chemistry graduate should be inspired with a sense of curiosity and wonder about the fundamental nature of the world around the student,  be empowered with the ability to make decisions about their own lives and critically evaluate scientific and technological developments that impact society and lastly  be equipped with the knowledge and skills to pursue further study and rewarding careers in the chemical sciences and a wide range of related fields.

Our Mission

1: To represent a clear framework or narrative that gives a coherent ‘big picture’ of chemistry as a subject, explains why it matters, and shows how different areas of content are connected.

2: To prepare competitive and professional graduates within an innovative and intellectually stimulating environment, support other academic programs at Adamas University by offering quality chemistry learning experiences, conduct basic and applied research of national and international impact.

3: To advance knowledge platform that supports an invent-and-design culture in graduate and undergraduate chemistry education and that empowers students to address and solve challenges of global significance.

4: To reach out to our future thought leaders—students of all backgrounds from pre-college to doctoral candidates—to share the power of chemistry to create new knowledge directed at the major unmet needs of our time.

An eminent research scholar, with 20 years of experience in research, Dr. Rupam Sen has joined Adamas University as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry. After successfully finishing his Ph.D. from Jadavpur University, Kolkata on MOF-based multifunctional materials synthesis, he received the FCT-international postdoctoral fellowship, where he worked in the same field at Aveiro University, after finishing this he was awarded the prestigious fellowship JSPS (Japan Society for the promotion of Science), Japan and work at Kyushu University on the development of photo/thermo responsive materials which can be used as the potential actuator at molecular level. He also got the position of Senior Research Fellow at Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland but not availed. During his Ph. D. and post-doctoral research, he published more than fifty research articles in journal of international repute. He also earned the prestigious Dr. D. S. Kothari post-doctoral fellowship, National Scholarship and Silver medal as meritorious student during his early studies. He is still actively engaged in research work and more will be executed in the Adamas University. He also earned the DST-SERB ECR research grant of 38 Lacs. He has developed research laboratory here at Adamas University. He is now developing hybrid systems for site specific MOF-based heterogeneous catalysis in Adamas University and chiral molecular assemblies. He also has expertise reviewing international journals. Besides his outstanding academic and research, he is very amiable person which make him easy approachable for the students. After all, Dr. Sen looks forward to encourage the Adamas University students not for only studying but also for social and cultural development, which will create a constructive and healthy atmosphere everywhere. Interested research fellows(Ph.D./post-doct), summer trainees and students are welcome to contact Dr. Sen.
