Dr. Doddi was born in A.P, after his graduation in a bachelor of science, pursued a master of science at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras). After a second master's thesis at the University of Bonn in Germany moved to Ruhr University Bochum, where he was a member of GSCB (Graduate School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Faculty of Chemistry and Biochemistry) and obtained Der. rer. nat (Doctoral degree) in synthetic & applied organometallic chemistry in the research group of Prof. Dr. Roland A Fischer (Currently at TU Munich). With a doctoral degree in organometallics, he then joined the research group of Prof. Dr. Dr. Matthias Tamm, Technical University Braunschweig in Germany where received three years of postdoctoral work experience in the field of hardcore low-valent main group element and transition metal organometallic chemistry.

After the postdoctoral stint, he served as subgroup leader at TU Braunschweig for about three years. During this period he worked on various aspects and applications of numerous N-heterocyclic carbenes for the isolation of novel main group organometallic fragments which were subsequently employed as ligands and new Frustrated Lewis Acid/Base pairs (FLP systems). Several of such species were employed in the trapping, isolation of group 6 to 11 transition metal organometallic complexes. The former species were subsequently employed in the investigation of their suitability as ancillary ligands in the homogeneous catalysis such as in the bimetallic gold catalysis.

Mr. Doddi has gained several years of synthetic and applied work experience in the advanced main group and transition metal organometallic chemistry from three different laboratories in Germany.
