About the author
A. T. Biju received his B. Sc. and M. Sc. from Mahatma Gandhi University, Kerala, India, and Ph.D. under the guidance of Dr. Vijay Nair at the CSIR-NIIST, Trivandrum, India. Subsequently, he has been a post-doctoral fellow with Prof. Tien-Yau Luh at the National Taiwan University, Taipei and an Alexander von Humboldt fellow with Prof. Frank Glorius at the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Germany. In June 2011, he began his independent research career at the CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory, Pune, India. In June 2017, he moved to the Department of Organic Chemistry, IISc Bangalore as associate professor. His research focuses on the development of transition-metal-free carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond-forming reactions using aryne chemistry and N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organocatalysis, and their applications in organic synthesis.
