Abhishek Mahulikar

Pune

Summary

Experienced researcher with a strong background in organic synthesis, catalysis, and flow chemistry. Currently working on a DST-funded project at CSIR-NCL, focusing on eco-friendly synthetic routes for pharmaceuticals and scaling reactions from lab to pilot scale. Previously, I contributed to developing a greener protocol for allylic arylation and artificial water transport channels during research at CSIR-NCL and IISER Pune. Proficient in multi-step synthesis, flow techniques, and characterization methods (NMR, MS, IR). Actively seeking a Ph.D. opportunity to further advance research in organic chemistry.
