Biography
Radhey Srivastava started his academic journey after graduating from India and Japan. He was trained in organometallic chemistry by Prof. Akio Yamamoto, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan. He has enjoyed working with several distinguished scientists in the field around the globe. This interaction offered him an excellent opportunity to perform high quality research in inorganic and organometallic chemistry. His research lies in field of homogeneous catalysis and ruthenium anticancer drugs. His group’s current research project includes metal-catalyzed functionalization of C-H bond with special reference to C-N bond formation including asymmetric allylic C-N bond formation. In addition to C-H bond functionalization, he is also engaged in the metal catalyzed deoxydehydration (DODH) of biomass derived polyols to energy and value-added chemicals.
