About me
PhD-trained organic chemist and Senior Scientist with 6+ years of experience in process and medicinal chemistry. Expertise in scalable API synthesis, impurity control, and process optimization from lab to commercial scale. I can support students in synthetic route design, reaction mechanisms, troubleshooting, scale-up strategies, analytical data interpretation, and scientific writing, helping them develop practical, industry-relevant research skills.
Interests: My research focuses on synthetic organic and process chemistry, emphasizing scalable, cost-effective route design for APIs and intermediates. I am interested in catalysis, impurity profiling (N-nitrosamines), crystallization, and process optimization, along with developing novel methodologies for heterocycles and bioactive scaffolds. With strong skills in problem-solving, reaction design, and analytical techniques, I foster curiosity-driven learning and help early research students build practical and independent research abilities.
