S. relations in the 20th century, the Korean War, the Cold War, the San Francisco Peace Treaty and territorial sovereignty. I have published in Acta Koreana, Asia-Pacific Viewpoint, Korea Journal, and Territory, Politics, and Governance, among others. I am the author of Japanese Judicial Imperialism and the Origins of the Coercive Illegality of Japan's Annexation of Korea, 1876-1910 (Palgrave-MacMillan, 2023), The Dawn of War in South Korea, 1947-1950 (Springer, 2024), and East Asian International Relations in History: The Long and Stormy 20th Century (Springer, 2024). 

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 palaeoclimate of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. He had the opportunity to travel internationally (UK, Scotland, France, Germany, Italy, Greece, Thailand, Poland, Taiwan, France, Turkey, Indonesia) and nationally to attend conferences and collaborated research work. His postdoctoral experience in India as a National Post-doctoral fellow (NPDF, 2017-2019) and Birbal Sahni Research Associate (BSRA, 2019-2022) at BSIP (India) was to understand the Neogene climate of northern Indian Ocean. During April, 2022 he joined the Stable Isotope laboratory at Institute of Earth Sciences (IES), Academia Sinica (Taiwan) as a Postdoctoral Researcher and worked on triple oxygen isotopes and silicon isotopes from diatoms. He is 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 use microfossils (mainly siliceous microfossils and calacreous 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 Academy Sains Malaysia, Membership Secretary of The Micropalaeontological Society (UK) and also nominated member of Risk-KAN 'Past4future' Working group.
