About
Dr. Mrinal Bhunia grew up in West Bengal, India and completed his bachelors in Chemistry from Vidyasagar University followed by masters from IIT Delhi. In 2019, he finished his Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Swadhin K. Mandal from IISER Kolkata, India. Later, He joined Prof. Daniel J. Mindiola at University of Pennsylvania, USA as a Postdoctoral Researcher. Currently, he is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the group of Prof. Karsten Meyer at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität, Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany. His research interest includes the synthesis of highly reactive multiple bonded Earth-abundant transition metal complexes and their applications in small molecule activation and functionalization.
