Dra. Triza Pal

Dr. Triza Pal obtained her M.Sc. in Chemistry from Banaras Hindu University, India, in 2017, and completed her Ph.D. in Chemistry at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Kolkata, India, under the supervision of Dr. Debansu Chaudhuri. Her doctoral research focused on understanding the fundamental mechanisms that govern supramolecular chirality in molecular self-assembly, with a particular emphasis on pathway selection, symmetry breaking, and the design of functional supramolecular materials. In 2024, she joined the Systems Chemistry Laboratory at IMDEA Nanociencia, Spain, as a Postdoctoral Researcher under the supervision of Prof. Thomas Hermans. Her current research explores light-controlled self-assembly, photo-responsive crystal motion, and adaptive supramolecular materials with dynamic functions. In 2026, she was awarded the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA-PF), through which she continues her research at Hermans’ Lab in IMDEA Nanociencia. Dr. Pal's research interests span supramolecular chemistry, dissipative self-assembly, photo-responsive molecular systems, and the design of functional organic materials inspired by Life-like systems.
