Anjani Kumar Pandey | Manipal University Jaipur Faculty of Science Technology and Architecture | India 

Dr. Anjani Kumar Pandey is an accomplished chemist with extensive academic, research, and technical expertise across coordination chemistry, supramolecular systems, and bio-inspired molecular design. He currently serves as an Assistant Professor (Senior Scale) in the Department of Chemistry at Manipal University Jaipur, where he leads research on tripodal metal–ligand systems and artificial molecular containers for CO₂ sequestration and reduction, mentoring three Ph.D. and two master’s scholars. He previously held prestigious postdoctoral positions at the University of Padova, Italy, under Prof. Cristiano Zonta, and at the University of Innsbruck, Austria, under Prof. Bernhard Kräutler, contributing to sustainable CO₂ conversion and vitamin B12 analog synthesis. His earlier research associate experience at IIT Kanpur involved metalloporphyrin oxygenation and reactivity studies. Dr. Pandey earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from IIT Kanpur in 2020 with a CPI of 8.67, following an M.Sc. and B.Sc. in Chemistry from the University of Allahabad with distinction. His accolades include the MSCA Seal of Excellence, Austrian Science Grant (FWF), seed grants from Manipal University Jaipur and MAHE, best poster award at CRSI-NSC 23, and multiple CSIR fellowships. Skilled in advanced spectroscopic, electrochemical, and crystallographic techniques, he has strong interests spanning organometallic catalysis, solar cell materials, bio-organic systems, and molecular interactions.
