About Me:

 

 

I am currently working as Assistant Professor in Chemistry at National Institute of Technology (NIT) Manipur. After Completing M.Sc from IIT Kanpur and working as a research fellow at Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich (LMU Munich), Germany, I awarded my doctoral degree in 2011 from University of Hohenheim, Stuttgart, Germany. Followed by three successive Postdoctoral Research stay at University of Antwerp, Belgium and University of Heidelberg, Germany, I have joined a Canadian Pharmaceutical Company called SignalChem LifeSciences Pvt. Ltd. as Senior Principal Scientist. Afterwards, I worked as a Research Associate at Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore and as Assistant Professor (on contract) at NIT Jalandhar. I have awarded several fellowships such as MCM scholarship for M.Sc study at IIT Kanpur, Pegasus Marie Curie postdoctoralfellowship, PBC postdoctoral fellowship and BOF - IWO postdoctoral fellowship etc. My current research targets on developing novel methodologies on transition-metal catalysis, C-H activation, organocatalysis, frustrated Lewis Pairs, cooperative dual catalysis, asymmetric catalysis, chemistry of heterocycles and green chemistry. In recognition of the research work, apart from a number of abstract high-lights in scientific magazine, chemical catalogues and conference papers, I have published more than 65 research articles in high impact factor international peer-reviewed journals.
