Keshaba Parida

Keshaba Parida is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Carl S. Marvel Laboratories, University of Arizona. His research focuses on catalytic chemistry, materials science, and organic synthesis, with emphasis on developing novel porous organic polymers, enolonium-mediated reactions, and single-molecule junctions. His work integrates physical chemistry and electrochemistry to explore reaction mechanisms and material properties.

Key research interests include heterogeneous catalytic oxidations, hypervalent iodine-based reagents, and the design of chiral materials for asymmetric catalysis. He investigates photochemical processes in conjugated systems and explores applications in photovoltaics and electronic devices. His studies on molecular break junctions and single-molecule conductance bridge organic synthesis with nanoelectronics.

Recent publications highlight advancements in cross-linked perovskites for photovoltaics, umpolung functionalization of ketones, and oxidation cascades using IBX/oxone systems. His contributions to green chemistry and sustainable catalytic methods are notable, with a focus on functional group transformations and catalyst design.

No scientific awards or grants are explicitly mentioned. He collaborates with institutions like CSIR-NIIST, Kerala, India, and has a strong publication record in high-impact journals such as Chemistry - A European Journal and ChemistrySelect.
