Possible interview questions and answers based on the job role are:
- Can you tell us about your experience in self-assembly of peptide-based molecules?
Answer: As mentioned in my resume, I have worked on the self-assembly of peptide-based molecules during my Ph.D. I have also published a paper on this topic in a peer-reviewed journal.
2. What is your experience with nanohybrids of peptides and peptide-based opto-electronic materials?
Answer: During my Ph.D., I have synthesized and characterized nanohybrids of peptides and studied their opto-electronic properties. I have also conducted preliminary experiments on peptide-based opto-electronic materials.
3. How do you plan to contribute to the research group of Prof. Arindam Banerjee?
Answer: I plan to bring my expertise in self-assembly of peptide-based molecules and nanohybrids of peptides to the research group. I am also interested in learning more about peptide-based opto-electronic materials and contributing to ongoing projects in this area.
4. What challenges have you faced during your previous research work, and how did you overcome them?
Answer: During my previous research work, I faced challenges related to synthesizing and characterizing complex peptide-based structures. To overcome these challenges, I collaborated with experts in related fields and sought their guidance. I also spent time troubleshooting and optimizing experimental protocols.
5. Can you tell us about a specific publication of yours that you are particularly proud of and why?
Answer: I am particularly proud of my publication on self-assembly of peptide-based molecules in a peer-reviewed journal. This work represented a significant breakthrough in the field and was recognized with an award at a conference. I believe that this work has the potential to inform the development of new materials and technologies in the future.
