Dr. Arunava Sengupta
ASG Lab is dedicated to helping academics create a good research environment that effectively enhances their achievements, research work, publications, and teaching experience. We also want to collaborate with students, colleagues, and the wider academic community. With our expertise in academics and experience in computational studies, we aim to help academics stand out and advance their careers. As an Assistant Professor of Chemistry, my research interests revolve around Catalysis and Computational Studies. I am also interested in forming inorganic coordination complexes with which several organic transformation reaction can be carried out under photo-redox and electrochemical conditions. I am committed to pushing the boundaries of scientific knowledge and fostering a collaborative research environment. This platform provides an insight into my academic journey and the services I offer. Explore further to learn about my team and the unique aspects of my academic approach.
