Akhila K. Sahoo worked as a postdoc researcher at the RWTH-Aachen-Germany with Prof. Hans-Joachim Gais (2002), Prof. Tamejiro Hiyama, Kyoto University, Japan (JSPS; 2002-2004), and finally with Prof. Atsuhiro Osuka, Kyoto University (2004-2006). He then worked as a scientist at the Sai Advantium Pharma Limited (2006-2007), Hyderabad.
He then joined the School of ¾ÅÖÝÓ°Ôº [Assistant Professor (2007-2012), Associate professor (2013-2016)] University of Hyderabad. Currently, he is working as Professor. His research interest revolves in the development of novel transformations on metal-catalysed C-H activation, Au-catalysed synthetic methods, and construction of strained N, and O-rich energetic materials. He is a Member of the ¾ÅÖÝÓ°Ôº and Member of the National Academy of Science, India.

Dr Aparna Ganguly completed her graduation and post- graduation in ¾ÅÖÝÓ°Ôº from University of Delhi and subsequently obtained her PhD in Materials ¾ÅÖÝÓ°Ôº under the supervision of Professor A. K. Ganguli at IIT Delhi. After a short stint at teaching Physical ¾ÅÖÝÓ°Ôº at Central University of Rajasthan, she moved back to the Nanoscale Research Facility, IIT Delhi as a scientist where she worked extensively on porous materials and their applications. In 2014, she joined the ¾ÅÖÝÓ°Ôº where she is currently the Editorial Development Manager and manages the journal portfolio and their growth in India.  As a part of her role, she works quite extensively with the scientific community, various Indian chemical societies, and researchers across various disciplines of Chemical Sciences and support the journal teams.
