Dr. Parin H. Kanaiya is a distinguished chemist with specialized expertise in organic and supramolecular chemistry, particularly in the design and application of calix[4]resorcinarene derivatives. He earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Gujarat University in 2009, with a research focus on the synthesis, structural characterization, and functional applications of these macrocyclic compounds.

With over 15 years of experience in both industrial R&D and academia, Dr. Kanaiya has made significant contributions to the fields of molecular self-assembly, host–guest chemistry, and functionalized macrocyclic architectures. His research delves into calix[4]resorcinarene-based dyes, their interactions with surfactants, and their antimicrobial properties.

Dr. Kanaiya’s scientific pursuits bridge organic synthesis, analytical chemistry, and advanced materials, with his work published in several high-impact international journals. His innovative research continues to advance the frontiers of supramolecular chemistry and its applications in materials science and chemical biology.
