Research summary
AI-generated

Rajesh Nandi's work centers on organic and catalytic chemistry, particularly developing new metal-catalyzed reactions (using copper, silver, and palladium) to build ring-shaped organic molecules and functionalized compounds, some with potential biological activity. A parallel line of research applies waste materials (biochar, biowaste-derived catalysts) and anaerobic digestion processes to produce biogas and treat wastewater, showing an interest in sustainability-oriented chemistry alongside core synthetic methodology.
