Komal RizwanShe earned a Ph.D. in chemistry from Government College University Faisalabad Pakistan in 2016 and carried out research work at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. She is interested in synthesizing molecules tha possess interesting functions, including biological activity (natural products, drugs, drug-like compounds etc.) or materials with useful properties. She develops tools to perform efficient synthetic transformations in creating novel molecular architectures of medicinal or industrial relevance. In a nutshell, my interests are broadly in synthetic organic chemistry, with a particular focus on the synthesis of bioactive natural products and novel molecular architectures (nanomaterials). She worked on organic synthesis focused on catalysis, visible light photoredox couplings, transition metal-catalyzed -couplings, and click chemistry. Synthesis of nanomaterials and their applications to control environmental pollution is also her area of interest. Read More Read Less
