About
Abdul Wahab did his MSc in Chemistry from Dibrugarh University and PhD (supervisor: Dr. S. Mahiuddin) from RRL Jorhat. He did his first postdoc (2005-2007) with Prof. P K Das at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and second postdoc (2008-2013) with Prof. Josef Michl at his Prague Lab (J. Heyrovsky Institute of Physical Chemistry). He served University of Science & Technology Meghalaya for two year as Head of the Department of Chemistry. He visited Institute of Organic Chemistry & Biochemistry, Prague as visiting scientist in 2015. He then joined the erstwhile Cotton College State University as an assistant professor in 2015. Now he is trying to establish an independent research lab along with teaching the UG and PG students.
