About
Girijesh Kumar received his MSc degree from the University of Lucknow in 2005. He completed his PhD in Chemistry in 2013 from the University of Delhi under the supervision of Professor Rajeev Gupta. He did his postdoctoral work with Professor E. Lee at the Pohang University of Science and Technology (South Korea) and with Professor Samar K. Das at the University of Hyderabad (India). He worked as DST Inspire Faculty (Assistant Professor) from Nov. 4, 2015 to Nov. 3, 2020 and as SERB Research Scientist (Assistant Professor) w.e.f. Nov. 4, 2020 to Aug. 1, 2022 at the Department of Chemistry and center of advanced studies in Chemistry, Panjab University Chandigarh. Currently he is working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, University of Allahabad and his research interest focuses on the design of metal–organic frameworks and molecular cages for catalysis, recognition of small molecules and ions and gas sorption applications.
