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 the Kyoto University, Japan (2002-2004) as a Monbukagakusho research fellow. Here she worked on ruthenium-catalysed propargylic substitution reactions. Later she moved to the Shiga University of Medical Sciences, Japan (2004-2005), where she worked on separation of crbon nanotubes by porphyrin-based molecular tweezers. 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 current research is focused on the synthesis and characterization of novel heterocyclic compounds and their applications as fluorescent sensors, multi-stimuli responsive materials, advanced organic materials, and medicinal applications. She is also serving as the Editorial Board Member, Chemistry Select (2021-2025) and Member, Associate Editorial Board, Current Organic Chemistry (2019-2025). Recently, she has also been appointed as an Associate to the Committee on Chemical Safety of the American Chemical Society (ACS) for the year 2024. It is a matter of honor for her to represent India in this committee as the sole Indian member.
