Welcome to Mitra Lab!
Our research group's fundamental interest is in organometallic/coordination chemistry. We take an interdisciplinary approach to provide sustainable solutions for novel catalytic transformations. We are also interested in structural and reactivity studies to understand the underlying principles behind the transformations.
​
Interested ones are encouraged to have a look at our research page or to contact Dr. Mitra directly.​
​
We are actively recruiting PhD students this Aug 2026. One JRF (CSIR/UGC) and one TA category are available in our lab. Please get in touch with Dr. Mitra for details.
