As a Professor specializing in Synthetic Organic Chemistry, teaching responsibilities encompass designing and delivering advanced courses that cover reaction mechanisms, synthetic strategies, stereochemistry, and modern techniques in organic synthesis. This includes both theoretical instruction and practical laboratory training, ensuring students are proficient in skills such as multistep synthesis, NMR spectroscopy, chromatography, and safe handling of reagents. The role also involves mentoring undergraduate and graduate students, supervising their research projects and theses, and preparing them for careers in academia, industry, or further study.
In the research domain, I lead a group focused on developing new synthetic methodologies, total synthesis of natural products, organocatalysis, and metal-catalyzed transformations.
Responsibilities include conceptualizing and executing original research, securing funding through competitive grants, publishing in high-impact journals, and presenting findings at national and international conferences.
Ph.D. students and postdoctoral fellows is integral to maintaining a productive research environment, emphasizing experimental design, data analysis, and scientific writing.
Beyond teaching and research, I contribute to departmental and institutional governance through committee work, curriculum development, and academic planning. They also engage with the broader scientific community by reviewing manuscripts, serving on editorial boards, and collaborating with industrial partners. Outreach and science communication are additional facets, promoting public understanding of chemistry and inspiring the next generation of scientists.
Design laboratory modules that provide hands-on experience with modern synthetic techniques (e.g., air-sensitive reactions, catalysis, photochemistry).
Integrate cutting-edge research findings, green chemistry practices, and retrosynthetic analysis into course content.
Train students in advanced organic synthesis techniques, analytical characterization (NMR, MS, IR, HPLC, GC), and lab safety.
Foster critical thinking through problem-solving sessions and literature discussions.
Provide academic advising and career mentoring, particularly for students pursuing careers in academia, industry (e.g., pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals), or further study.
Help students develop scientific writing and presentation skills through seminars and manuscript preparation.
Offer timely and constructive feedback to help students improve their skills and grasp complex concepts.
Contribute to curriculum reform to ensure alignment with industry and research trends in synthetic chemistry.
Identify novel chemical transformations, design multistep synthetic routes, and explore reaction mechanisms.

Ensure data integrity, reproducibility, and adherence to safety and environmental protocols.
Seek interdisciplinary and industrial collaborations to expand research funding and application scope.
Present research findings at international conferences, symposia, and invited lectures.
Contribute book chapters or reviews on developments in synthetic methods and strategy.
Provide training in manuscript writing, proposal development, and academic presentation.
Partner with pharmaceutical or chemical industries to translate academic research into practical technologies or drug candidates.
Organize seminars, workshops, or conferences in organic chemistry.
Serve as an editor or editorial board member for chemistry journals.
Advocate for science education and research funding through outreach or policy involvement.
MS in Organic Chemistry and PhD in Synthetic Organic Chemistry and Postdoc in Synthetic Organic Chemistry from University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, New York, USA
