Prabir Kumar Sen

Associate Professor & Head in Chemistry (WBES)

Highest Qualification: M.Sc, Ph.D. (Synthetic Organic Chemistry)

Berief Biography:

Being a synthetic organic chemist, especially from the field of total synthesis, my preferred area of teaching are synthesis of natural products and developments of new methodologies. In the UG level, my teaching courses include carbonyl chemistry and different methodologies for the C-C bond making, organometallic compounds, heterocyclic compounds, carbohydrates, terpenoids, alkaloids and reaction mechanism. I have taught retro-synthetic analysis, use of reagents and synthesis of natural products as well as supra-molecular chemistry in the PG level.
