BP's Research: Sustainable Catalysis for C-H Activation
Research Experience
Work Experience
-
Sep. 2020 - Till Now:
BP has joined the IC Research group at IITRPR as a Ph.D. scholar under the supervision of Dr. Indranil Chatterjee in September. 2020. His research area is catalysis and synthetic organic chemistry. His current research focuses on the transition metal and(or) photo-redox catalyzed C–C and C–Heteroatom bond formation.
-
Jul. 2019 - Jan. 2020:
BP has worked for six months as a short-term project scholar at the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS), Kolkata, under the supervision of Prof. Brindaban C. Ranu. His research focused on the C–C bond forging via C–H bond functionalization. He has completed two separate projects: Ball-Mill-assisted C–H bond chalcogenetion and Ruthenium catalyzed cyclization of alkynes with arenes via C–H bond activation.
-
Jan. 2019 - Apr. 2019:
BP has performed his MSc internship from Jadavpur University, Kolkata, under the guidance of Dr. Samit Guha. His research area was mainly supramolecular chemistry. He has synthesized and characterized an unsymmetrical bis-urea macrocycle for the recognition of anions like Cl- and small neutral molecules. He has done theoretical and experimental works on the anion binding with the host macrocycle.
-
Jun. 2017 - Aug. 2017:
BP has worked for 3 months as a Summer Intern Fellow under the guidance of Prof. Sanjay Bhar, Dept. of Chemistry, Jadavpur University, Kolkata. There he worked on mild and greener approach towards the reduction of ester-functionalities of arenes and heteroarenes.
