About me

PhD student - Miguel Rivero Crespo Group - Department of Organic Chemistry 

I studied my BSc Hons in Chemistry at Ramakrishna Mission Residential College Narendrapur (Autonomous), affiliated to Calcutta University (2018-2021). I have pursued my MSc in Chemistry in National Institute of Technology Calicut (2021-2023). During his MSc studies, I carried out a summer internship in “Wacker Metroark Chemie, Kolkata”, a silicone polymer-based industry (June-July 2022). I have done my Masters thesis under Dr. Raju Dey on S-alkylation reactions of Dithiocarbamtes via Hydrogen Borrowing method using Cu-based Heterogenous Catalysts and was able to publish my first research article. After completion of MSc, I was doing a project internship for short period (Aug-Sept 2023) in Indian Institute of Kharagpur, under Dr. Rajarshi Samanta on a project based on homogenous catalysis and organic synthesis.

Since March 2024, I have joined Prof. Miguel Rivero-Crespo's group at Stockholm University as a PhD student, where I am focusing on developing new concepts in heterogeneous catalysis applied to sustainable organic chemistry.
