Atanu Mondal

Dr. Atanu Mondal is a Research Fellow (UKRI) at the School of Chemistry, University of St Andrews. His research focuses on developing novel organocatalytic and phosphine-mediated methodologies for complex molecule synthesis, with a particular emphasis on bioconjugation, asymmetric catalysis, and sustainable chemical processes.

His work spans organic synthesis, catalysis, and bioorthogonal chemistry, addressing challenges in creating chiral molecules, C–C bond formation, and functional group transformations. Notable contributions include phosphine-catalyzed aldol reactions, metal-free reductive processes, and annulative strategies for heterocyclic frameworks.

Publications emphasize innovation in nucleophilic organophosphine-promoted transformations, cyclopentannulation of benzothiophenes, and electrochemical labeling of proteins. Research aligns with advancing synthetic strategies for drug discovery and materials science.
