Ashutosh Kumar Mishra

Ashutosh Kumar Mishra is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IIT-Hyderabad). His research group focuses on bioorganic chemistry, sensor development, and nanoscience, with particular emphasis on designing flavin-based molecular probes for biomedical and energy applications.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Chemistry from IIT Kanpur
• Postdoctoral training at Northwestern University, USA
• M.Sc. from D.D.U. Gorakhpur University

Research Focus: Dr. Mishra's work spans the development of flavin-derived fluorescent probes for real-time monitoring of cellular oxidants (e.g., hypochlorous acid), stimuli-responsive supramolecular materials, and bioinspired electrode systems for energy storage. His group specializes in mitochondrial-targeted bioimaging and multi-stimuli responsive materials.

Recent Publications: His most recent articles (2022-2025) demonstrate strong themes in flavin-based probe design, with applications spanning from real-time cellular imaging of reactive oxygen species to organic electrode materials. The works frequently integrate synthetic chemistry with advanced biomedical applications and materials characterization.

Honors:

• Research Excellence Award-2022 IIT-Hyderabad
• Best Poster Award-2024
• Best Poster Award at IC-AIE-FA 2022

Research Group: Leads an active team including doctoral students (Harsha Gopal Agrawal, Vaibhav, others) and postdoctoral researchers (Dr. MSSV Mouli). Recent achievements include doctoral thesis defenses, international postdoc placements, and conference awards. Funded by SERB India (CRG/2022/006706).
