== Biography ==
[[File:Jadavpur University Gate No. 4.jpg|thumb|235px|left|Jadavpur University]]
Born on 11 February 1973 in the village of [[Mankar]] in the Indian state of [[West Bengal]]. P. S. Mukherjee graduated in science (BSc hons) from the [[Triveni Devi Bhalotia College]], affiliated to the [[University of Burdwan]], in 1995. He completed his master's degree in inorganic chemistry from [[Jadavpur University]] in 1998.<ref name="Biography">{{Cite web |url=http://ipc.iisc.ernet.in/~psm/images/completeCV-partha1.pdf |title=Biography |date=2016 |publisher=Indian Institute of Science |access-date=9 December 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171025163100/http://ipc.iisc.ernet.in/~psm/images/completeCV-partha1.pdf |archive-date=25 October 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref> His doctoral studies were done at the [[Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science]] under the guidance of Nirmalendu Ray Chaudhuri and he was awarded a PhD for his thesis ''Synthesis, crystal structure and low temperature magnetic behaviour of Cu(II) [[Polynuclear cells|polynuclear]] complexes of [[Amine|amines]] and their derivatives using different [[Bridging ligand|bridging ligands]]'' in 2002. Subsequently, he moved to the US for his post-doctoral studies at the laboratory of [[Peter J. Stang]] of the [[University of Utah]] where he stayed till 2004. Then he obtained an [[Alexander von Humboldt Foundation|Alexander von Humboldt fellowship]] which enabled him to continue his work with [[Herbert W. Roesky]] at the [[University of Göttingen]]. On his return to India, he joined the [[Indian Institute of Science]] as an assistant professor. After serving as an associate professor during 2010–16, he is a professor at the department of inorganic and physical chemistry and the head of P. S. Mukherjee's Research Group. During this period, he had three stints abroad; as a visiting professor at [[Ulsan University]] (2010), as an Alexander von Humboldt visiting scientist at the [[University of Heidelberg]] and as a [[Japan Society for the Promotion of Science]] visiting scientist at the [[University of Kyoto]].<ref name="Biography" />

== Legacy ==
Mukherjee's studies focus on [[Supramolecular chemistry|supramolecular]] and [[Organometallic chemistry|organometallic]] materials, organic nano structures, molecular sensors and [[nanocages]].<ref name="Faculty profile" /> He demonstrated the ''self-sorting of three-dimensional nanoscopic organic cages driven by the dynamic [[imine]] bond'' reportedly for the first time and proposed ways of regulating the supramolecualar interaction through [[H-bonding]].<ref name="Hydrogen-Bond-Driven Controlled Molecular Marriage in Covalent Cages">{{Cite journal |last=Koushik Acharyya, Partha Sarathi Mukherjee |date=3 February 2014 |title=Hydrogen-Bond-Driven Controlled Molecular Marriage in Covalent Cages |journal=[[Chemistry: A European Journal]] |volume=20 |issue=6 |pages=1646–1657 |doi=10.1002/chem.201303397 |pmid=24382644}}</ref> The team led by him has also worked on [[Enzyme mimic]]s, [[single molecule magnets]] of polynuclear clusters and catalysis in nanocages.<ref name="Research interest">{{Cite web |url=http://ipc.iisc.ernet.in/~psm/researchinterest.html |title=Research interest |date=2016 |publisher=Indian Institute of Science |access-date=9 December 2016 |archive-date=20 December 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161220083635/http://ipc.iisc.ernet.in/~psm/researchinterest.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> His research has been documented by way of several peer-reviewed articles.<ref name="Publications">{{Cite web |url=http://ipc.iisc.ernet.in/~psm/publications.html |title=Publications |date=2016 |publisher=Indian Institute of Science }}{{Dead link|date=August 2025 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> At his group, he hosts a number of researchers and has already mentored many doctoral scholars.<ref name="PhD Students">{{Cite web |url=http://chem.iitm.ac.in/faculty/muraleedharan/page/alumni.html |title=PhD Students |date=2016 |publisher=IIT Madras}}</ref><ref name="Prodip Howlader">{{Cite web |url=http://ipc.iisc.ac.in/ |title=Prodip Howlader |date=2016 |publisher=IISc}}</ref> He is also associated with many science journals and serves as the associate editor of [[Inorganic Chemistry (journal)|Inorganic Chemistry]],<ref name="Associate Editor">{{Cite web |url=http://pubs.acs.org/page/inocaj/editors.html |title=Associate Editor |date=2016 |publisher=Inorganic Chemistry journal}}</ref> and as a member of the advisory panel of the [[Scientific Reports]] journal of the [[Royal Society of Chemistry]].<ref name="Editorial Advisory Panel">{{Cite web |url=http://pubs.acs.org/page/inocaj/editors.html |title=Editorial Advisory Panel |date=2016 |publisher=Scientific Reports journal}}</ref>
