Arrived Hokkaido Uty as a visiting professor. A wonderful 1st day with stimulating discussions with Profs. Hajime Ito, Koji Kubota & Kazuki Sada, followed by an unforgettable sushi feast.
Looking forward to visiting Unies & research institutes across Japan over the coming weeks
Excited to visit friend, Prof. Shuhei Furukawa at Kyoto University on June 12th and to interact with colleagues there. I will be giving a talk about our recent advances in Topochemical polymerisation.

Our latest JACS!
Synthesising distinct polymers from the same monomer by controlling regiochemistry, esp in the solid state, is challenging. we show that salt formation can tune the regiochemistry of topochemical polymerisation. https://t.co/g8J0KjM9vk
ICCOSS27 (June 20–25, 2027) will be held in Kovalam, India. A global conference series since 1968, ICCOSS brings together leaders in organic solid-state chemistry. Join us for cutting-edge science, discussions & networking. Details coming soon!
I’m looking forward to presenting a keynote at the ACS150 JACS Symposium Series: IACS Kolkata! I’ll be sharing insights from my work in supramolecular chemistry, focusing on topochemical synthesis and its impact on the future of science.

Chaired the 3rd Meeting of the Standing Committee of Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research.
Reviewed all 7 IISERs on their academic and research outputs and on their future plans. Suggested for more student-focused approaches for unleashing the full potential of our talented youth as well as for engaging in outcome-centric research for facilitating ease-of-living and societal advancement.
The Standing Committee also brainstormed on the roadmap ahead for achieving academic and research excellence, enriching student-experience and enhancing the core mission of providing world-class scientific education and research. IISERs are jewels in the crown of higher education in India. Confident that each of our IISER will establish a new culture of academic and research excellence, foster a new generation of scientists, innovators and entrepreneurs who will be equipped to address national and global scientific challenges and further enhance India’s knowledge prowess in the global arena.
