Dr. Debaprasad Mandal

Biography

Dr. Mandal joined the Department of Chemistry, IIT Ropar in 2010. His research work is centered around Organic and Organometallic Chemistry and this core area branches into catalysis, organic synthesis, and recoverable catalysts, particularly those with flourous "ponytails" of the formula (CH2)m(CF2)nF; these can be recycled via "fluorous" liquid or solid phases, such as Teflon. Dr. Mandal worked with Prof. Gladysz group at Erlangen, Germany as an Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (AvH) fellow for post-doctoral study after his PhD at IIT Kanpur. Then he moved to Texas A&M University where he was working mainly on methane oxidation (industrial project) for more than two years before joining IIT Ropar.
