Dr. Ravindra Raut

Ravindra obtained his M.Sc. degree in Chemistry from Fergusson College, Pune, in 2012. Following his master’s studies, he gained industrial experience at Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Hyderabad. He then pursued doctoral research at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Pune under the supervision of Prof. Moumita Majumdar, focusing on main group chemistry.

In 2020, he joined the group of Prof. Benjamin List (Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 2021) at the Institute for Chemical Research Design and Discovery (ICReDD), Hokkaido University, Japan, as a postdoctoral fellow. His contributions at ICReDD led to his promotion as a specially appointed assistant professor in 2024. Dr. Ravindra returned to India in 2025 and worked as a research scientist at Sai Life Sciences, where he further strengthened his expertise in applied chemical research. Since March 2026, he has been serving as an assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry at IIT Jodhpur.

His research interests lie in the areas of main group chemistry and synthetic inorganic chemistry, with a focus on developing innovative approaches that bridge fundamental discovery and practical application.
