Curriculum vitae
Manas Sutradhar (MS) received Ph. D. in Chemistry from the University of Calcutta, India in 2008. From 2009-2011, MS was a Post-doctoral fellow at the Institut für Anorganische Chemie und Analytische Chemie, Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, Germany. In 2011, MS joined as Post-doctoral fellow at Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal. Currently, MS is a Research Scientist at the same institute in Lisbon, Portugal. During his research career MS published more than 62 papers in international peer review journals (including 2 Reviews + 1 Reference Module) with more than 1600 citations (>1200 without self-citations) with h-index 25 (ISI Web of knowledge, based on 61 papers). He edited one book and published 7 book chapters in books with international circulation. He has one patent also. Major area of his research based on coordination chemistry, synthesis and catalysis. Use of microwave irradiation for oxidation catalysis is a useful technique in his research. Chemistry of oxidovanadium(IV/V) and non-oxido vanadium(IV) complexes and their applications is the core area of his interest. He is also active as a reviewer for various international scientific journals, e.g. Dalton Transactions, RSC advances, New Journal of Chemistry, Applied Organometallic Chemistry Polyhedron, Inorganica Chimica Acta, Journal of Coordination Chemistry, Catalysis Communications, Catalysts, Molecules etc. He is serving as guest editor for two special issues (i) “Metal-Based Catalysts in Organic Synthesis" in Catalysts (an open access journal, IF=3.444) and (ii) Catalytic Selective Oxidation Using Peroxide/Hydroperoxide Reagents in Frontiers in Chemistry (an open access journal, IF=3.782). He is the editorial board member of two international journals – i) Catalysts and ii) Current Microwave Chemistry. He also played role as organizing member for three international conference (ICOMC 2012, 7th EuCheMS N-Ligand 2018 and 1st ICNCI 2019). He received Young Scientist Award 2006 from Indian Chemical Society, India, and Sir P. C. Ray Research Award 2006 from the University of Calcutta, India.
