Dr. Venkateswara Rao Anna is a Chemistry researcher
with an expertise in Organic Synthesis and methodology. He is currently working
as an Assistant professor at Koneru Lakshmaiah Education Foundation (Deemed to
be University). He Completed Doctoral degree from North-Eastern Hill University,
Shillong, Meghalaya in the Year 2012. His research focused on the development of
new reagents and methods for organic synthesis, with an emphasis on asymmetric
catalysis. The achievement of his objectives requires an understanding of stereo
selective synthesis, physical, organic chemistry, and metal-based reactivity. He
is also expertise in the crystal chemistry of inorganic and mineral oxides
including the determination and description of crystal structures, the study of
polymorphic transformations, and the synthesis and characterization of new
compounds. His scientific contribution can be testified by his research
articles. He has been awarded fellowship from UGC-RFSMS during his doctoral
studies. Six Scholars awarded PhD’s under his supervision.
Message
Welcome to the Department of Chemistry,
Our department offers a rich variety of opportunities
and resources. Since the heart of every department is its students, let’s begin
by exploring our M.Sc. and Ph. D programs.
Our M.Sc. program offers an innovative curriculum that
provides students with outstanding training for a variety of career paths
including careers in the chemical industry, academia, medicine, research, and
government, as well as other fields. We offer customized academic planning,
advising, and research opportunities for all round development. The latter is
especially important; students have the chance to work with faculty on cutting
edge problems and gain skills that transfer to professional development, as well
as co-author papers with faculty.
Our doctoral degree program provides opportunities to
students in a wide array of chemical disciplines including analytical,
biological, environmental, inorganic, materials, organic, physical, and
theoretical chemistry. Scholars have the freedom to personalize their courses
and research projects. Moreover, we encourage scholars to collaborate in several
research fields in different labs. Our scholars have many opportunities for
professional development, including teaching, communication, networking,
outreach, and participation in regional, national, and international meetings.
They are also part of departmental committees such as safety, seminars, and
climate and diversity. These activities, together with research, make our
students competitive for many career paths that include academia, industry,
government, and national laboratories, among others.
Our department is doing extremely well with regards to
the infrastructure and teaching methods. The teaching staff of my department
comprises a group of successful people with Ph. D degrees as well as
accomplishments in Research and Teaching.
We have a very favourable faculty-to-student ratio,
which encourages close contact between students and their faculty mentors. This
allows the faculty to give personalized attention to the academic progress of
students. Our courses are designed to provide students the knowledge of Basics &
Applied Chemistry, and also introduce them to various experimental skills.
Besides, the department has been constantly revising
the contents of the theory and practical (laboratory) syllabi.
We always welcome the bright young minds to join the
Chemistry Department as postgraduate or research student. We are also happy in
inviting application from highly young talented researchers to sail with us to
reach their milestones.
Our aim is to provide an environment in which all who
work here can thrive, achieve their potential, and do the very best science.
These aims can only be achieved if we treat one another with consideration and
respect, and this is what I expect from all members of the department. I do hope
that you enjoy your time with us and that you find it a rewarding experience.
Once again, welcome!
Your future in chemistry...Global change is creating
enormous challenges relating to human health, energy, and scarce natural
resources. These challenges offer excellent future opportunities to people who
study chemistry.
"As a teacher it’s important to me
that my students enjoy chemistry and science and have the chance to be involved
in practical experiments."
