Dr. Arindam was born and raised in Kolkata (India) and he did his B.Sc. with Biotechnology (Jiwaji University, India) and M.Sc. in Marine Biology at the Pondicherry University (India). For his doctoral degree in Marine micropalaeontology at the Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeosciences (BSIP), India / University of Burdwan he worked on the Neogene microfossils and paleoclimate of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. He had the opportunity to travel internationally (USA, UK, Scotland, France, Germany, Italy, Greece, Thailand, Poland, Taiwan, France, Turkey, Indonesia, etc.) and nationally to attend conferences and collaborate on different research works.

His postdoctoral experience in India as a National Postdoctoral Fellow (NPDF, 2017-2019) and Birbal Sahni Research Associate (BSRA, 2019-2022) at BSIP (India) was to understand the Neogene climate of the northern Indian Ocean. During April, 2022 he joined the Stable Isotope Laboratory at the Institute of Earth Sciences (IES), Academia Sinica (Taiwan), as a postdoctoral researcher and worked on triple oxygen isotopes and silicon isotopes from diatoms.

He has been currently working as a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Geology, Faculty of Science, Universiti Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, since March 2023. Other than the teaching responsibilities, his research is focused on the palaeoclimatic variability during the geological history. He uses microfossils (mainly siliceous microfossils and calcareous nannofossils) and their chemistry to determine patterns of global climatic conditions and ecology. He is also currently working on samples from International Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 342 (North Atlantic), Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 378 (South Pacific), and Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 391 (South Indian). He is also the supervisor of the Geology Museum, Universiti Malaya.

Dr Arindam is the Associate Fellow of the Academy of Sciences Malaysia, Membership Secretary of The Micropalaeontological Society (UK), nominated member of the Risk-KAN 'Past4future' Working Group, and Council member of Geological Society of Malaysia (GSM).
