Prof. Marilyn Daisy Milton pursued a degree in B.Sc. Chemistry(Honours) (1995) from Miranda House, University of Delhi and M.Sc. Chemistry (1997) and Ph.D. (2002) from Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. Later she worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Kyoto University, Japan (2002-2004) as Monbukagakusho research fellow and at Shiga University of Medical Sciences, Japan (2004-2005). She joined the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur as an Assistant Professor in 2005 and worked there for two years. Later she joined the University of Delhi as a Reader in 2007, was promoted as an Associate Professor in 2008 and as Professor in 2013. Her research interests include design and synthesis of fluorescent sensors; design and synthesis of advanced materials, development of new methodologies for functional group transformations, synthesis of novel heterocyclic compounds and their applications, organocatalysis, transition-metal catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, development of multi-catalyst systems for organic transformations. She is also serving as the Editorial Board Member, Chemistry Select (2021-2025) and Member, Associate Editorial Board, Current Organic Chemistry (2019-2022).
