We invite postdocs interested in faculty positions to join us for an interactive Young Researchers Meeting on 2 August 2025. Hear from the Director, Deans & faculty members, and find out what IISc has to offer! Register by 12 noon (IST) on 1 August at: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
After serving as a ketone and amide enolate surrogate (doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…), vinyl azide is back as an acetonitrile enolate surrogate in Ir-catalyzed allenylic substitution: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…. Congratulations @Aditya453642 . Thanks @serbonline @iiscbangalore
An IISc UG team has secured 6th place at PLANCKS 2025, a prestigious international theoretical physics competition held last month. This is the highest-ever ranking achieved by an Indian team at PLANCKS so far. Congratulations to the students! 🎉 iisc.ac.in/events/iisc-ug…
