Abstract

Maya Shankar Singh was born in 1960 and earned his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Organic Chemistry from Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India in 1981 and 1986, respectively. After postdoctoral research, he joined the Vikram University, Ujjain, as Assistant Professor in 1990, and moved to Gorakhpur University as Associate Professor in 1998, then to Banaras Hindu University in 2004, where he is currently Professor in Organic Chemistry. During his sabbatical, he visited University of Arizona, Tucson, USA and Nagoya Institute of Technology, Nagoya, Japan. His research interests are the development of novel building blocks, new synthetic methods, multicomponent reactions, and structural studies. Fourteen students have completed their Ph.D. degrees under his supervision and presently twelve are working. His research work has been documented in more than 105 papers in international journals of high repute. Additionally, he has authored two review articles and two textbooks in organic chemistry published from Pearson-Education.
