Progna Banerjee

Progna is an NST core-funded postdoctoral appointee at Argonne National Laboratory with strong interdisciplinary research background in experimental condensed matter physics, materials chemistry, and electronics. She earned Ph.D. (physics with materials chemistry) and M.S. (strongly correlated condensed matter) degrees from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, United States, in December 2018 and 2014, respectively. Before that, Progna completed M.Tech. (solid state technology) and M.Sc. (physics) degrees from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. Prior to starting her current position with the Argonne National Laboratory, she was an NSF MRSEC postdoctoral fellow at the University of Texas at Austin, United States (2020-2021), investigating light-matter interactions in bioinspired nanostructures; and an EBI-Shell ALS affiliated postdoctoral fellow at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, California, United States (2019), in battery science.
