Dr. Keshaba N. Parida studied MSc in chemistry from Sambalpur University, India. Next, he joined IIT Kanpur for doctoral studies and pursued PhD in the area of hypervalent iodine-mediated oxidative transformations. After three postdoctoral stints at Ariel University (Israel), the University of Arizona (USA), and IISER Thiruvananthapuram (India), Keshaba joined as a CSIR Pool Scientist (SRA) at IISER Thiruvananthapuram, India. At present, he is an assistant professor at Sreenidhi University, Hyderabad, India. Hypervalent iodine-mediated organic synthesis and single-molecular electronics are his research areas.
