Mr. Gangi Raju
M.Sc. Student, Dec 2024 to May 2025
Project: Metal-Free Efficient Synthesis Of Cyclic Thiocarbonates From Aromatic Aldehydes Through NHC Catalysis
Published article: 0
“I, Gangi Raju, have successfully completed my project on N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis in the OMC group. During this time, I gained hands-on experience in multistep synthesis under inert atmosphere and developed skills in techniques such as NMR, IR, and TLC. I also deepened my understanding of NHC catalysis and reaction mechanisms. I sincerely thank my guide for their constant support and valuable guidance. This project has strengthened my interest in organic chemistry, and I am eager to continue research in this field.

Profile: I completed my bachelor’s degree from Adikavi Nannaya University. The undergraduate studies provided a solid foundation in organic, inorganic, and physical chemistry, along with hands-on experience in laboratory research. Driven by curiosity and a desire to specialize further, I have pursued a Master of Science (MSc) in Chemistry from NITPY, delving deeper into advanced topics such as Organic chemistry, Quantum and spectroscopy, and Chemical synthesis. This phase of my education allowed me to engage in innovative research. I am curious and passionate about sharing my knowledge as well as improving myself more in the field and establishing an interest on chemistry in many more young minds.

Profile:
I am Adithya Ramesh, a native of Tiruchirapalli, Tamil Nadu. My academic journey in chemistry began with a B.Sc. from Bharathidasan University, and I have deepened my expertise by pursuing an M.Sc. in Chemistry at the National Institute of Technology Puducherry. With a meticulous approach to learning, I am passionate about exploring the depths of chemistry and unraveling its complexities. My ambition is to advance my higher studies further by pursuing a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry. I have embarked on an enriching learning experience as an intern under the guidance of Dr. Vasudevan Dhayalan and have completed my M.Sc. Project. My research interests lie in organocatalysis and drug synthesis, reflecting my dedication to developing high-value medicinal products through innovative chemical synthesis methods.

Profile:
My name is Mahantesh, I consider myself a enthusiastic researcher in NHC-organocatalysis. From rural area of Karnataka to NIT Puducherry I came long way. I gain lot of chemistry knowledge from NITPy especially during my project time ingain lot practical knowledge of chemistry this all because of support I got from Team OMC. I'm not good researcher but in earlier but after entering to OMC group my research knowledge has been immensely increased. I contributed small drop of water to NHC organocatalysis in future I will try my best to contribute more in chemistry research field.

Profile:
I am VIKASH KUMAR BIND, a dedicated researcher in Organocatalysis and Drug discovery with a particular focus on Organic Chemistry. My academic journey began at the University of Delhi, where I completed my B.Sc. in Chemistry and then I moved to National Institute of Technology Puducherry to complete my M.Sc. in Chemistry. Since then, I have been driven by a passion in organic chemistry, aiming to contribute to the advancement of knowledge and innovation in this dynamic field. In addition to my primary research, I am actively involved in teaching at Allen Carrier Institute PVT. Ltd. These roles have allowed me to engage with the academic community, share my knowledge, and help the next generation to compete in National Level examinations i.e. IIT-JEE and NEET.
