About
Dr. Satya Kumar Avula was born in Kodangal, Telangana State (Hyderabad), India in 1979. He obtained his Master’s degree in Inorganic Chemistry (2004) from the Osmania University, Hyderabad. He worked as an Assistant Professor (on contract basis) in Chemistry department, Osmania University Post Graduate College (OUPGC) from 2004 to 2007. He has also qualified national level competitive tests Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR, New Delhi)-NET exam in 2006 and also he secured 96 percentile in GATE examination, which are reputed research oriented exams in India. Then he moved to Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT, CSIR Lab), Hyderabad to pursue his Ph.D degree (2007). He received his Ph.D. degree in Organic Chemistry from Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad (JNTUH-IICT), India in 2012. In his doctoral work he studied investigation on bioactive compounds through the stereo selective total synthesis of Stagonolide-D molecule, development of new synthetic methodologies and isolation of natural products from Jatropha Multifida plant under the supervision of Dr. Biswanath Das, Scientist-G, IICT, and Hyderabad.
Dr. S. Kumar successfully presented his research work in the form of oral talks and poster presentations at various national and international conferences. He then moved to the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal (UKZN), Durban, South Africa collaborated with Uppsala University, Sweden as a Postdoctoral Researcher (2012-2013) in the group of Prof. Anderson, where he worked on an effort towards the cyclization of 1,6-enynes and synthesis of chiral N, P ligands and their applications in asymmetric catalysis. He worked as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry, Vasavi College of Engineering, Hyderabad from 2013-2015. He worked as a “Research Assistant Professor” in organic chemistry, Natural & Medical Sciences Research Center (NMSRC), University of Nizwa, and Sultanate of Oman, from July 2015 to August 2025.
Dr. Satya Kumar Avula, is at present a “Senior Scientist” in Organic Chemistry at the Natural & Medical Sciences Research Center (NMSRC), University of Nizwa in Oman. After his postdoctoral work, Dr. Kumar started independent research at the NMSRC in 2015, and he has been an invited speaker at many national and international conferences. His research focuses on chemical transformations of natural products and total stereo-selective synthesis of marine natural products with active against cancer, tuberculosis, malaria, diabetes and inflammation etc. and total stereoselective synthesis of natural products and he has authored and co-authored over 90 publications in international peer review journals. He has presented his research at various national and international conferences. He is a Member of the Royal Society of Chemistry & American Chemical Society.
