Background
Dr Deblina Majumder is a Postdoctoral Research Associate and Centre for Postdoctoral Development in Infrastructure Cities and Energy (C-DICE) Ambassador'23 at the School of Engineering.
She is actively working in C-DICE Industrial Secondment: Developing Funding Streams to Support Future Management of Green and Blue Infrastructure. She is selected as Research Associate representative and working in Athena Swan Award group as part of Equality, Diversion and Inclusion (EDI) committee within the School of Engineering at Newcastle University promoting Women in Engineering.
Deblina joined the Materials, Concepts & Reaction Engineering Group in the School of Engineering (MatCoRe) group in April 2022 as a Research Associate to work on catalysis and chemical looping under the arena of EPSRC funded Emergent Nanomaterials -Critical Mass project under the leadership of Prof. Ian S. Metcalfe.
In July 2021, Deblina joined Sheffield Hallam University, UK to take up the Post-Doctoral Research Associate position in the project, GRIFFIN – Hot Gas Raman Identification and Measurement for the Foundation Industries, funded by Innovate UK.
Dr Deblina is an advisory member of HiT-OFCs project under UKRI, TFI Network+, supporting sustainability and transformation in the Foundation Industries on the path to Net-Zero.
Before moving to UK, She was associated with S. N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences, India as a Visiting Scientist and later, as a Postdoctoral Research Associate till May 2021 where the major emphasis of her research work was given on the development of heterogeneous catalyst.
Dr Deblina obtained her BSc (Hons 1st Class) and MSc in Chemistry (1st Class) from University of Calcutta in India. She was awarded with PhD in Chemistry from Jadavpur University, India in 2019 after successfully pursuing her doctoral research on controlled synthesis of multifunctional nanostructured metal oxides for sensor development and environmental remediation.

As a Principal Investigator, Dr Deblina is working on the project, titled, Development of Selective oxygen reservoir for Ethylene Oxide production via Chemical Looping (DOOR EXCEL) funded by Research England Development Fund. UK pioneering Industrial Decarbonisation strategies with net-zero 2050 target, primary aim of her project is to translate research and innovation beyond the laboratories in collaboration with relevant academic (University of Surrey, University of Nottingham, Energy Research Accelerator), and industrial stakeholders (National Horizons Centre, Teesside University, North East of England Process Industry Cluster and Breedon Group). Her research interest primarily includes designing selective oxygen carrier materials via exsolution for chemical looping applications.
