Practical Physical Chemistry

Mukka Satish Kumar earned his bachelor’s degree (B. Sc) in Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics in 2005 from Kakatiya University (Warangal, India), and his M. Sc. in Chemistry in 2007 from Osmania University (Hyderabad, India). He has been awarded MERIT CERTIFICATE by the Osmania University in 2007 as he stood first in Physical Chemistry Pool. Presently he is working as an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Nizam College (Autonomous), a constituent College of Osmania University. He has completed Ph. D in Physical Organic Chemistry from Osmania University under the guidance of Prof. K. C. Rajanna. His doctoral work includes Electrophilic substitution reactions under Conventional and Non-Conventional conditions to explore organic synthesis under green chemical conditions. He is motivated by the challenge of applying green chemical methods to devise solutions to environmental pollution problems. His current focus is also on elucidating mechanisms of electrophilic substitution reactions using Chemical Kinetics as an important tool. Dr. Satish Kumar has published 30 papers in internationally reputed journals and few more are under active consideration.
