Author Information

Dr. Abir Baran Majumder was born in India in 1977 and completed M.Sc. in Organic Chemistry in 2001 from the University of North Bengal, earning a University Graduation Gold Medal and a Certificate of Distinction as an Organic Chemist. He was awarded CSIR Junior Research Fellowship and CSIR Senior Research Fellowship during his doctoral research. His Ph.D. studies ended in 2010 under the guidance of Professor Munishwar Nath Gupta at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi in the field of stereoselective biocatalysis. He then worked as a DST Project Scientist in the same institute and then joined Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge Technologies, Hyderabad, as a full-time Lecturer of Chemistry in Basar. During this period, he teamed up with the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi and concentrated his research on the application of the promiscuous behavior of enzymes to synthesize exquisite molecules which were otherwise difficult to prepare. Apart from promiscuous biocatalysis his research was focused on extraction of algal oil from spirogyra using proteases, a project funded by the institute. From 2015 onwards he has been working as an Assistant Professor and Head of the Chemistry Department in KGT Mahavidyalaya, University of North Bengal. He is presently working in collaboration with the Department of Chemistry, Institute of Science, Banaras Hindu University and with industries including Peak Biotech, Siliguri and Scrips Pharma, Hyderabad. His current areas of research interest are: Stereoselective biocatalysis, Green chemistry, Nanobiocatalysis, Bioorthogonal reactions. Prof. Kalluri Venkata Sri Ranganath was born in 1976 and completed M.Sc in Physical Chemistry in 1998 from the Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati. He joined for his Ph. D. studies under the guidance of Prof. B.M. Choudary at Indian Institute of Chemical Technology Hyderabad in the field of heterogeneous (asymmetric) catalysis and completed in 2005. Later he moved to Japan for Postdoctoral studies with Prof. Junji Inanaga at Kyushu University, Fukuoka in the area of asymmetric catalysis using functionalized materials from 2005-2008 and he was awarded as a JSPS Fellow during that period. Thereafter he completed his other Postdoctoral studies with Prof. Frank Glorius at University of Muenster, Germany in the area of chiral N-heterocyclic carbenes catalyzed asymmetric reactions under heterogeneous conditions from 2008-2011. During that period he was awarded Alexander von Humboldt Fellow. He then worked as an Assistant Professor at Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge Technologies, Hyderabad and then moved to Guru Ghasidas Central University, Bilaspur. In 2017 he joined Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi as an Associate Professor. From October 2020 he has been working as a Professor in Physical Chemistry. He was awarded Dr. KV Rao Young Scientist in 2004, Ramanujam Fellow from DST in 2012, Fellow of Andhra Pradesh  Akdemy ofSciences in 2021. His current areas of research interest are Surface Modification of Nanomaterials, Asymmetric Catalysis using Functionalized Materials
