Subash Arjunan

I am Subash Arjunan. IcompletedaMaster of Chemistry in Central University of Tamil Nadu, India. CurrentlyI am1styear Ph.D. student in Molecular Chemistry Departmentat University Grenoble Alpes working in two labs: DCM(SITH-team) and SyMMES, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Anne Milet and Prof. Dr. Pascale Maldivi. What drives me for this PhD project is that I can apply my skills in Computationalchemistry, on Metal-oxo complexes-basedreactions, toCO2reductions using Ni-Fe complex. The aim of this thesis is to use approaches in computational chemistry in order to get insights into themechanism of this catalytic process in order to rationalize the experimental observations, and finally to pave the way for improvementof the catalytic system, which helps in the high importance in the current global warming context.The Arcane scholarship gives me the opportunity to work in two high-standard labs, Theoretical and Experimental labs, which allows me to gain better understanding and knowledge on the fieldand to learn forefront techniques.After my Ph.D., I would like to pursue post-doctoral studies followed by a career in academics.
