Sayan Kumar Jana

Postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bern.

I develop more sustainable ways to make organic molecules using light and mechanical energy.

Research

Photo-mechanochemistry
At Bern, I study how light and mechanical energy can work together to drive organic reactions.

Visible-light catalysis
I use photoredox and energy-transfer catalysis to form carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds.

Solid-state synthesis
I study how ball milling and crystalline materials influence reactivity in the solid state.
