Research Methodology in Chemical Sciences

Tanmoy Chakraborty, PhD, is now working as assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry at Manipal University Jaipur, India. He has been working in the challenging field of computational and theoretical chemistry for the last six years. He has completed his PhD from the University of Kalyani, West-Bengal, India, in the field of application of QSAR/QSPR methodology in the bioactive molecules. He has published many international research papers in peer-reviewed international journals with high impact factors. Dr. Chakraborty is serving as an international editorial board member of the International Journal of Chemoinformatics and Chemical Engineering. He is also reviewer of the World Journal of Condensed Matter Physics (WJCMP). Dr. Tanmoy Chakraborty is the recipient of prestigious Paromeswar Mallik Smawarak Padak, from Hooghly Mohsin College, Chinsurah (University of Burdwan), in 2002.Lalita Ledwani, PhD, is currently associate professor in the Department of Chemistry at Manipal University in Jaipur, India. She has been both an assistant professor and senior lecturer at Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University (PDPU) in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India, as well as a lecturer at a private degree college in Jaipur, affiliated to Rajasthan Technical University, Rajasthan. A member of several professional organizations, including the American Chemical Society, she has published over a dozen papers in international refereed journals and has presented at many conferences and invited talks. She is the author of the forthcoming book, Petroleum Industrial Chemistry. She currently guides several students toward their PhD and postgraduate degrees. She received her PhD from Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar University, formerly Agra University, in Uttar Pradesh India.
