PhD Synthetic Organic Chemist | Manuscript Editing, Literature Reviews & Synthesis Consulting

Profile Summary

PhD in Synthetic Organic Chemistry (IIT Kharagpur) specializing in organic semiconductor synthesis and Pd(0)-catalyzed methodology. My research spans the design and multi-step synthesis of Y-series non-fullerene acceptors (Y6, L8-BO), n-type conjugated polymers, and reaction methodology development — including process optimization and scale-up from milligram to multi-gram (27 g) quantities. I help researchers and companies with manuscript preparation and editing, focused literature reviews, and hands-on guidance on synthetic routes, methodology, and scale-up challenges. My published work appears in Organic Letters, Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis, and the European Journal of Organic Chemistry, and I hold CSIR NET-JRF (AIR 121), CSIR-RAship. Whether you need a manuscript shaped into publication-ready form, a rigorous literature survey on a synthesis problem, or expert input on a tricky route or scale-up, I bring deep bench experience and clear scientific writing to every project. Services Offered Manuscript Editing & Writing — Editing, restructuring, and polishing research manuscripts in organic/synthetic chemistry for clarity, flow, and journal readiness; drafting support for results, discussion, and SI sections. Literature Reviews — Targeted, well-organized literature surveys on synthesis routes, reaction methodology, organic semiconductors, and related materials topics, with critical synthesis of findings rather than just summaries. Synthesis & Methodology Consulting — Practical advice on synthetic route design, reaction optimization, troubleshooting, and mg-to-gram scale-up, drawing on direct lab experience. Grant & Fellowship Application Editing — Editing and strengthening research proposals, fellowship applications, and grant narratives for technical accuracy and persuasive scientific framing.
