Dr. Prosenjit Daw obtained his B.Sc. in Chemistry from the University of Calcutta (INDIA). He completed his M.Sc. and Ph.D. at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IIT Kanpur, India), where he worked on N-heterocyclic carbene-based organometallics catalyst and their application in organic transformation in the group of Prof. Jitendra K. Bera with Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Fellowship (SPMF).
In 2015, he moved to Israel as a post-doctoral fellow at the Weizmann Institute of Science with a Planning and Budgeting Committee (PBC) fellowship and worked with Prof. David Milstein in the development of new synthetic methodologies based on hydrogenation and dehydrogenation of organic molecules and small molecule activation using pincer based catalysts. In 2019 he joined the Department of Chemical Sciences, IISER Berhampur, as an Assistant Professor.
