Guest Lecture on Powering Homogeneous Catalysis with Earth-Abundant Metals
2025-12-10 11:00 - 12:30 | Tiered Classroom, 5th Floor, Admin Block
The Department of Chemistry is organising a Department Guest Lecture by Dr Soumyadeep Chakrabortty, Max-Planck-Institute für Kohlenforschung (The Max Planck Institute for Coal Research), Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany on December 10, 2025. Dr Chakrabortty will deliver the talk on “Powering Homogeneous (Asymmetric) Catalysis with Earth-Abundant Metals”.
Abstract of the Talk
Transition metal catalyzed hydro-functionalization of alkenes and alkynes remains a cornerstone of homogeneous catalysis offering excellent economy for the synthesis of functionalized molecules. While precious-metal catalysts based on Rh, Ru, and Ir have long dominated this field, concerns regarding cost, scarcity, and residual-metal toxicity have intensified efforts toward more sustainable alternatives. This presentation will showcase sustainable base-metal catalysis for stereoselective synthesis. A cobalt catalyst enables enantioselective hydrogenation of cyclic enamides via distinct mechanistic pathways [1-3], while an iron complex [4], promotes highly selective trans-hydrostannation of terminal alkynes through a modified Chalk–Harrod mechanism. Together these studies highlight the potential of earth-abundant metals in homogeneous catalysis.
About the Speaker
Dr Soumyadeep Chakrabortty received M.S. in chemistry at IISER Mohali, India in 2019 on NHC chemistry and catalysis. He obtained his PhD at Leibniz Institute for Catalysis (LIKAT) Rostock, Germany and stayed as research associate at LIKAT. Currently, he is pursuing his post-doctoral research at Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung (MPI-Kofo) at Mülheim a/d Ruhr. He was also awarded the DAAD Scholarship to visit Van’t Hoff Institute for Molecular Science (HIMS), University of Amsterdam (UvA) during PhD studies. His research focuses on design and application of novel ligands in transition metal catalysis for organic synthesis.

International Conference on Advances in Materials, Design and Manufacturing
2025-12-12 09:00 - 2025-12-14 17:00
The Department of Mechanical Engineering is organising an International Conference on Advances in Materials, Design and Manufacturing (ICAMDM-2025) on December 12-14, 2025.
ICAMDM-2025 aims to provide an ideal platform to delve into and expand knowledge on theoretical, numerical, and experimental developments in Mechanics, Materials, and Manufacturing by bringing together researchers, scientists, engineers, industry experts, scholars, and students.
Many researchers continue to work in the fields of Mechanics, Materials and Manufacturing with the scope of interdisciplinary/interconnected research work. This conference provides an opportunity for researchers to present their work, connect with the other scholars and publish their work in Scopus indexed proceedings.
An advanced manufacturing hands on workshop will also be held at ICAMDM-2025.

2nd International Conference on Breaking Barriers : Reimagining Centre
2025-12-17 08:00 - 2025-12-18 17:00 | SRM University-AP
Department of Literature and Languages, Easwari School of Liberal Arts, SRM University-AP, is organising Second International Conference on Breaking Barriers: Reimagining Centre – Margin Dynamics from Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Dec 17 & 18, 2025.
Breaking Barriers : Reimagining Centre – Margin Dynamics from Interdisciplinary Perspectives is an international academic conference that invites critical reflection on the enduring binaries of centre and
margin in our contemporary world. The conference seeks to interrogate how entrenched hierarchies of
power continue to influence structures of governance, identity, knowledge, and belonging. As global
socio-political shifts expose the fractures of centralized authority, from geopolitical crises and
algorithmic surveillance to gender-based violence and climate collapse, this conference asserts the
urgency of thinking from and with the margins.
