I am from Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh. I completed my PhD in 2021 at the Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore campus, Tamil Nadu  (https://vit.ac.in/) under Prof. Kaushik Chanda's supervision in transition metal-catalyzed nitrogen heterocycle synthesis. Later, I worked as an institute post-doctoral researcher (IPDF) in asymmetric synthesis under Prof. S. Peruncheralathan at NISER, Bhubaneswar, Odisha. To explore my research interest in natural product total synthesis and asymmetric synthesis, I have joined Prof. Venkaiah Chintalapudi's research group as a National Post Doctoral Fellow (NPDF), and currently working on the total synthesis of terpenoid analogs.

I’m from Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh, and my academic journey began with a Bachelor’s degree from Rayalaseema University. I furthered my studies by completing a Master’s in Chemistry at Sri Venkateshwara University. Demonstrating my commitment to research, I cleared the CSIR-JRF examination in both 2020 and 2021. Currently, I am pursuing a doctoral degree with a focus on the total synthesis of terpenoids, working under the mentorship of Dr. Venkaiah Chintalapudi. My research is driven by a deep interest in organic chemistry and the synthesis of complex natural products.

Hey I’m Snehasish. My journey began in Barrackpore, a town on the outskirts of Kolkata, West Bengal. After earning my B.Sc. with Honors in Chemistry from West Bengal State University, I completed my M.Sc. in 2020 at Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Centenary College. During my master’s project under Dr. Shital Kumar Chattopadhye from Kalyani University, I gained hands-on experience in Organic Synthesis. To further explore this field, I joined TCG Life Sciences as a Research Chemist, where I worked for a year. This experience deepened my passion for research, particularly in Organic Chemistry, leading me to pursue a Ph.D. at IIT Tirupati under Dr. Venkaiah Chintalapudi.

I’m Baviri Suresh, hailing from Srikakulam, Andhra Pradesh. I earned my M.Sc. in Chemistry from Andhra University in 2019. In 2023, I successfully cleared the CSIR-UGC NET examination. Following this achievement, I joined IIT Tirupati for my doctoral studies, specializing in the total synthesis of terpenoids under the guidance of Dr. Venkaiah Chintalapudi. I am excited about this opportunity to deepen my understanding of chemistry and to make meaningful contributions to our research group. 

I am from the lively town of Bhawanipatna, Odisha. I got my Bacheor’s Degree in Chemistry from Sambalpur University. After that I qualified IIT JAM Exam and joined IIT Tirupati as a Master’s Student, my final year project involved the synthesis and characterizations of Calix[4]imidazolium complexes under the guidance of Prof. Gouriprasanna Roy. Later I joined as a PhD student in Dr Venkaiah Chintalapudi’s Group in 2024, and I will be working in the domain of Natural Product Synthesis. Besides studying and working I love to play cricket, table tennis and video games in my pc. And I also like to listen music and binge watch TV series and movies whenever I have some time to kill.

Hey this is Sakshi Sharma and I am from Delhi.  The concept of living in a world which is full of wondrous phenomena has always pushed me to understand the concepts of science and bringing out the practical enthusiast in me and I decided to do my undergraduate studies in Chemistry at Maitreyi College, University of Delhi from 2018 -2021. To delve deeper into the subject I pursued Master's degree at Jamia Hamdard  in Delhi from 2021-2023.  During my Master's, I honed my laboratory skills through a project in the department, gaining valuable hands-on experience in Organic Chemistry and working with various laboratory instruments. Now, I've joined Dr. Venky's Lab to focus and fulfill my research interests in organic chemistry and am excited to make meaningful contributions to the research group. 

I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Chemistry at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Tirupati, continuing in the same research group where I previously completed my Master of Science degree. During my M.Sc., I worked under the guidance of Dr. Venkaiah Chintalapudi on a project focused on the total synthesis of terpenoids, which sparked my deep interest in natural product synthesis. My academic journey began with a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry from HPPC Government First Grade College, affiliated with Davanagere University, Karnataka. I qualified for IIT JAM in 2023, which enabled my entry into IIT Tirupati for postgraduate studies. Originally from Chitradurga, Karnataka, I am committed to expanding my expertise and contributing to the field of organic chemistry through innovative research in complex molecule synthesis.
