About Me
Hi, my name is Pinaki and I am an organic chemist with over 20 years of teaching and research experience in both academia (as a university professor) and industry (as a leading scientist) with more than 100 publications and over 2400 citations in highly reputed international journals.
I am currently teaching Chemistry at Royal Imperial Collegiate of Canada and am an editorial board member of Current Organic Chemistry, Bentham Science Publishers.
I am a resident of Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. My expertise is primarily in teaching, research and editorial.
