Dr. Amjad Ali

Department Chemistry
Designation Head & Assistant Professor

Dr. Amjad Ali has done his masters in Chemistry from P.G Department of Chemistry, BRABU, Muzaffarpur. He has qualified National level exams in Chemistry such as GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test for Engineering) and CSIR-UGC NET with JRF. Further, he did his M.Tech in Molecular Engineering: Chemical Synthesis and Analysis from IIT Delhi. Then, he continued his research work and earned his PhD from IIT Delhi in 2023. His specialization is in Organic Chemistry and his area of research was mainly focused on Asymmetric Organocatalysis, 1,6-addition reactions, [1,2]phospha-Brook rearrangements involving 1,2-carbonyl migration and 1,2-aryl migration causing ring expansion and ring contraction.
