and obtained his Ph.D. degree from the Department of Chemistry, University of Delhi. He joined Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Center for Biomedical Research,
University of Delhi, as a Lecturer on 2nd Feb 1998. He joined the Department of Chemistry as a Reader on 23rd Jan 2009;
he was promoted to Associate Professor in 2010 and Professor in 2013. He also served School of Physical Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University for
nearly one year (2015). He did his postdoctoral research work from 2001 to 2002 (two years) with Prof. Alan R. Katritzky at University
of Florida USA, and also worked as visiting Scientist from 28th June 2007 to 31st August 2008 at Iowa State University of Science and Technology,
Ames, Iowa, USA in the Laboratory of Prof. Richard C. Larock. Prof. Verma has guided 32 Ph.D. students and published more than 132 research papers
in international journals. His research interests include copper/palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions; synthetic methodologies; heterocyclic
synthesis using alkynes chemistry. Professor Verma is elected as a Fellow of the Indian National Science Academy (2021),
awarded CRSI Bronze Medal (2021), and became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC, London).
the years, Prof. Verma has established a productive research group exploring diverse areas of organic synthesis,
and the design of new molecular entities. Professor Verma has carried out extensive basic and applied research in the field of organic
synthesis and has developed a range of new synthetic methods using alkynes and transition metal reagents
