Tahir FarooqTahir Farooq did his doctorate under the supervision of Dr. Bengt Erik Haug and Dr. Leiv K. Sydnes from the University of Bergen, Norway. During research work, he worked in the area of “click chemistry” for the synthesis of triazolic compounds. He folowed Huisgen’s 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions using Cu-catalysis and Ru-catalysis approach to synthesize various 1,4- and 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles. Currently, Dr. Farooq is using the least-explored 1,2,3-triazoles as plant growth regulators and stress protectants, and is interested in exploring the role of 1,2,3-triazoles in abiotic stress management in crop plants.
