Nitish Deshpande

Nitish Deshpande's research focuses on designing solid catalysts, especially zeolites (porous crystalline materials) and mesoporous silicas like SBA-15, for chemical reactions such as epoxide ring opening and sugar conversion. This work is relevant to green chemistry and biomass conversion, where solid catalysts can replace hazardous liquid acids or enable more selective chemical transformations. The research combines catalyst synthesis with mechanistic studies to understand how catalyst structure affects reaction selectivity.

Publication output was concentrated between 2017 and 2019, with a marked slowdown and only sporadic single publications from 2020 through 2025.
