I am a postdoctoral research fellow (Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellow) in the group of Prof. Dr. Thorsten Bach at Technical University of Munich, Germany. I completed my PhD in March 2026 from the Department of Organic Chemistry at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore. My research focused on understanding and harnessing the unique reactivity of highly strained intermediates, particularly Donor-Acceptor Cyclopropanes (DACPs) and Bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (BCBs), which possess high strain energies (27.5 kcal/mol for DACPs and 66.3 kcal/mol for BCBs).
