K is currently providing services as Principal Scientist. Dr. Rajender Reddy. K has authored and co-authored multiple peer-reviewed scientific papers and presented works at many national and International conferences. Dr. Rajender Reddy. K contributions have acclaimed recognition from honourable subject experts around the world. Dr. Rajender Reddy. K is actively associated with different societies and academies. Dr. Rajender Reddy. K academic career is decorated with several reputed awards and funding. Dr. Rajender Reddy. K research interests include Catalysis enables the construction of important chemical bonds under mild conditions and in ways not possible using non-catalytic reactions. My research program is interested in developing metal and metal free (organo) catalysts in chemo, regio and stereoselective organic transformations. This is accomplished in three ways: a) through mechanistic studies of important catalytic reactions, b) through utilization of catalysts in organic transformations and c) through synthesis of new catalysts. The purpose for engaging in these studies is to improve the state of knowledge of the field of homogeneous catalysis. One of the area which we are currently focused is development of Oxidative cross-coupling chemistry using transition and non-transition metal catalysts under homogeneous conditions..
