Welcome to Akash Deshpande

A warm welcome to Akash Deshpande who has recently joined the CRC 1333 as a doctoral researcher within the research group of Kenichi Endo.

Akash has completed his Master’s degree in Chemistry at the University of Ulm, where his research focused on light-driven transmembrane electron transfer using ruthenium complexes and oligo-aromatic molecules. Before that, he worked as a Trainee Officer in Quality Control at Lupin Pharmaceuticals Ltd., gaining experience in analytical techniques such as HPLC and UV-Vis spectroscopy.

Within the CRC 1333,  Akash is working on Seed Funding Project 6. He will work on the synthesis of hybrid metal–organic/covalent–organic frameworks (MOCOFs) for catalysis confinement and will also support the synthesis of Lewis-acidic Zr MOFs for project B05.
