ABOUT ME

Dr. Prosenjit Daw obtained his B.Sc. in Chemistry from the University of Calcutta (INDIA). He completed his M.Sc. and Ph.D. at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IIT Kanpur, India) where he works on N-heterocyclic carbene based organometallics catalyst and their application in organic transformation in the group of Prof. Jitendra K. Bera with Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Fellowship (SPMF). In 2015, he moves to Israel as a post-doctoral fellow at Weizmann Institute of Science with Planning and Budgeting Committee (PBC) fellowship and  worked with Prof. David Milstein in development of new synthetic methodologies based on hydrogenation and dehydrogenation of organic molecules and small molecule activation using pincer based catalysts.
