Suvajit Koley

Suvajit Koley works in synthetic organic chemistry, developing new methods for building fluorine-containing molecules (such as trifluoromethyl and difluoroalkene compounds) and other complex organic structures like heterocycles and sulfur-based compounds. Some of this work connects to drug discovery, including designing antiparasitic and antileishmanial compounds and studying how chemical structure affects drug safety properties. Prospective students would likely engage in hands-on synthetic chemistry, using techniques like catalysis, photoredox reactions, and X-ray crystallography to characterize new molecules.

Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade, dipping to zero in 2023 after a slow decline from 2018-2022, but has rebounded to a steady pace of about 4 papers per year in 2024-2025.
