Biography
Dr. Sudarsanam Putla is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemistry, IIT Hyderabad, India. Before joining IITH (April 2022), Sudarsanam was a Scientist at CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory, Pune (Feb 2020- March 2022). He obtained his M.Sc. degree in Chemistry (2009) from IIT Madras and Ph.D. degree in Chemistry (2014) from CSIR-IICT, Hyderabad (Guide: Dr. B. Mahipal Reddy). From 2014 to 2019, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at RMIT University (Melbourne), Leibniz Institute of Catalysis (Germany), and KU Leuven (Belgium). His research group is mainly working in the area of Heterogeneous Catalysis, focusing on the development of advanced catalytic materials and sustainable catalytic processes for plastic waste recycling, biomass valorization, and diverse nitrogenous chemicals. He has received several awards/fellowships: RSC Nanoscale Emerging Investigator-2025, PECFAR Award-2024 (Indo-German Science & Technology Centre), Young Scientist Award-2024 (Catalysis Society of India), Associate Fellow of the Telangana Academy of Sciences-2024, Australian Alumni Award-2021, Marie-Curie Fellowship-2017, Leibniz-DAAD Fellowship-2017, Best PhD Thesis Award-2015 (Catalysis Society of India), and Endeavour Research Fellowship-2013 (Australia). He has authored 85+ publications in high-impact journals (h-index: 41 and ~6000 citations), 5 book chapters, and serves on numerous Editorial Boards of peer-reviewed journals: ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering, Molecular Catalysis, and Applied Catalysis O: Open.
