Poulami Mukherjee (G4)

Poulami was born in West Bengal, India and was raised in Ukhra, a small town in West Bengal. She completed her Bachelor of Science (Chemistry) from Jadavpur University in 2020 and then completed her masters from IIT Guwahati in 2022. Her master's thesis was done under the supervision of Prof. Bhubaneswar Mandal where she worked in transition metal free synthesis of aryl thioethers via ipso nucleophilic substitution reaction. In fall 2022, she joined Dr. Gutierrez's group where she is working on synthesis of multicomponent iron-catalyzed cross coupling reaction and further explore her interest in synthetic organic chemistry. She is also interested in working on applications of density functional theory to understand the reaction mechanism of organometallic and organic reaction as well. In free time, she does photography; listens to music; cooks food.
