Dr. Santhosh Kumar Alla received his M.Sc. degree from Andhra University and completed Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati under the supervision of Prof. Tharmalingam Punniyamurthy. In 2016, he joined the Department of Chemistry, GITAM (Deemed to be University), Visakhapatnam. He is currently developing synthetic methodologies for preparing organic molecules by C–H functionalization through transition metal catalysis and organocatalysis.
