Biography
Dr. Alagiri Kaliyamoorthy was born and raised in Mayiladuthurai, Tamil Nadu, India. After the early education, he obtained his Bachelor degree (2005), and Master degree (2007) from Bharathidasan University Trichy, and then, pursued his PhD degree (2007 - 2012) with Prof. K. R. Prabhu at the Department of Organic Chemistry, Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore. Later, he moved to Japan for his postdoctoral stint (2012 - 2015) with Prof. M. Shibasaki at the Institute of Microbial Chemistry (IMC), Tokyo. Currently, he is holding a position as Assistant Professor (since August 2015) at the School of Chemistry, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Thiruvananthapuram.
