Tuhin Samanta is a postdoctoral scholar at Arizona State University since 2019. Tuhin was born and brought up in India. He did his Ph.D. in Chemical Physics in the Solid State and Structural Chemistry Unit at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India under the guidance of Prof. Biman Bagchi. Currently, he is a postdoctoral research scholar in Prof. Matyushov's group at Arizona State University. 

His research interests primarily lie in the area of chemical dynamics of different complex systems. He has a strong background in computer simulations of theoretical infrared spectroscopy, (i.e. 1D and 2D infrared spectroscopy) computational studies of hydrophobicity i.e. especially the confinement properties, glass transition, electron transfer, and dielectric relaxation of polar and non-polar liquids etc.
