Dr. Mallick holds the post of Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry. He completed his Ph.D. in 2007 at IIT Bombay, India with Prof. Nand Kishore. Then, he moved to Seoul National University (SNU), Republic of Korea and worked with Prof. Sa-Ouk Kang as a KB-21 postdoctoral researcher. He joined the Department of Chemistry, Ravenshaw faculty in 2010. He has 11 years of teaching and 14 years of post Ph.D. research experience. He has published in international peer review journals and written edited book chapters. He was awarded the Raman Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2016 by UGC, Govt. of India to conduct advance research in the University of Iowa, USA. He is a trained biophysical chemist with expertise in protein structure and functional nanoparticles research.

His research group is interested to unravel the complexity of proteins involved in antibiotics resistance, and the nano-bio interface chemistry of biogenic/engineered nanoparticles to facilitate their biomedical applications
