Hearty Congratulations to (Dr.) Shyam Kumar Banjare for successfully defending his thesis today. He is an excellent student and a role model. Shortly he will join the group of Prof. Armido Studer, WWU Munster, Germany. We wish him a great career and a life ahead. Well Done Shyam!

My second publication is out in Advanced Synthesis and Catalysis! Thank you Ravi Sir Ponneri C Ravikumar and Shyam_Banjare for this opportunity and the right guidance, motivation and support. Many thanks to saista Afreen and Annapurna Saxena for the help and support.

KIIT in association with CRSI Local Chapter (Bhubaneswar) is organizing a one-day seminar on Teachers Day. Eminent Professors will be delivering a talk at this one-day event. There is opportunity for students to present posters, register soon and Spread the Word, RT appreciated!

Take a look at this #review by Ponneri C. Ravikumar et al.: "Directing group-assisted selective C–H activation of six-membered N-heterocycles and benzo-fused N-heterocycles" Ponneri C Ravikumar Ponneri C Ravikumar NISER SERB doi.org/10.1039/D3QO01…

Check out our recent article in Organic Letters. Once again, Congrats Pranav Mahulkar !!!

I'm thrilled to share my first first-author paper published in OrgChemFront, featured in 2024 Organic Chemistry Frontiers HOT articles. This work couldn't have been completed without the support of Dr. Kathiresan. Thanks for all your support. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Hearty Congratulations!! to Dr. Shyam Kumar Banjare for bagging HBNI "Outstanding Doctoral Student Award" for the year 2023! He is currently working as a postdoc with Professor Armido Studer, at University of Muenster.

Hearty Congratulations! 👏 to our MSc student Mr. Pranav Sridhar Mahulkar for being selected for the Best Master's Thesis award in Chemical Sciences. Soon Pranav will be joining the PhD program at University of Texas, Dallas. We wish him all the very best.

Mr. Ayush Parag from the School of Biological Sciences received the Best Integrated M.Sc. Thesis Award in his graduating class under the guidance of Dr. Aniruddha Datta-Roy and Dr. Rittik Deb. Congratulations to both the mentors and the recipient!

Mr. Pranav Shridhar Mahulkar from the School of Chemical Sciences has been awarded the Best Integrated M.Sc. Thesis Award in his graduating class, under the guidance of Dr. Ponneri C RaviKumar. Congratulations to both of them on this achievement!

Thank you very much Sir for your support and guidance throughout. 🙏😊

Thank you very much Sir. It would have been even more special if you were present. Thank you very much for all your teachings.

I am honoured to have received the academic excellence medal for the best thesis award in chemical sciences by the Honorable President of India President of India !! A day to remember forever. Big thanks to my guide Ravikumar Group , all labmates and my family.

Happy to share our latest research work on Palladium catalyzed C-C Activation of cyclopropanol just out in Organic letters. Hearty congratulations to all the authors👏 J Org Chem/Org Lett ACS Publications pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Excited to share my first-authored paper in Organic Letters J Org Chem/Org Lett ! Do give it a read. Truly grateful to Sir @PC_Ravikumar Ravikumar Group for his guidance, making this achievable. Thanks to B VEDVYAS PATI Gopalkrushna DAS ADHIKARI TANMAYEE NANDA for the countless hours and contributions!

Check out 'Illuminating Palladium Catalysis'–our recent Account published in Accounts of Chemical Research, presenting our discovery and development of visible-light-induced palladium catalysis since 2016. This account was also selected for the Journal cover! Congrats, Kelvin!

Our latest discovery on Ni-catalyzed directed halogen atom transfer(DIXAT) is out in J. Am. Chem. Soc.! A directing group enables Ni to selectively generate Ar• from ArBr in presence of much weaker Ar–I bonds. A 1,n-HAT follows, enabling remote arylation of amines shorturl.at/inNPK

Aryl radical-mediated dual HAT enables direct CDC of aldehydes & alkenes to form skipped enones with high chemoselectivity! Congrats, Sidhant & Pramod, for developing Ni-Catalyzed Cross-Dehydrogenative Coupling toward Skipped Enones, now out in J. Am. Chem. Soc. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Direct C–H alkylation could be a very useful strategy for rapidly building molecular diversity, including 3° & 4° carbon centers. Congrats Subham & Gaurav on developing Light-Induced Pd-Catalyzed Allylic C–H Alkylation of Internal Alkenes! out in J. Am. Chem. Soc. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
