Rojalin Sahu

Associate Professor

Dr. Rojalin Sahu is currently working as an Associate Professor-II in the department of Chemistry at KIIT deemed to be University. She has 11 years of teaching experience and 15 years of research experience. She has completed her M.Sc. and M.Phil. (Utkal University), PhD (IIT Guwahati). She is the recipient of DST young scientist travel award to present a paper at Technical University, Dresden, Germany and CONICET International Post-Doctoral fellowship. Most notably, she has been qualified Radiological Safety Officer (RSO) by BARC, Mumbai. She has been the lead Investigator of a number of externally funded projects (DST, DBT, ICMR, UGC-DAE-CSR, Ministry of Mines and BRNS). She has successfully conducted many national and international conferences as convener. She is also a NABL trained officer for Chemical Testing Laboratories. Her basic areas of research are synthesis and characterization of new Coordination Compounds and their catalytic and biomedical applications; Metal Organic Frameworks and Covalent Organic Frameworks for different application such as drug delivery, catalysis, NLO, wastewater treatment, etc.
