Anil Reddy Marri, Postdoctoral Researcher
Anil Reddy Marri was born in India. He earned a Ph.D. Degree in Chemistry from the Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad, India in 2014, where he was involved in synthesis and characterization of organic- as well as metal organic- (mainly Ru) molecules 
for materials chemistry applications (e.g., n-DSSCs and OSCs). He then conducted postdoctoral research at the University of East Anglia, UK from 2015-2017 (Marie-Curie Fellowship-nanoCuI for p-DSSC). Subsequently, he moved to the University of Lorraine, France as a senior postdoctoral researcher (2019-2021), where he was involved in design, synthesis, and characterization of Fe(II) N-heterocyclic carbene complexes for n-DSSCs.
In November, 2021, he joined the Shultz group at NC State University, where he is involved in synthesis and characterization of stable biradical complexes of platinum(II).
