Dr. Tejraj Aminabhavi obtained his Ph.D (1979) from the University of Texas at Austin, Texas, USA. During 1980-2002, he was a professor of Physical Chemistry and in 2002-2007, the founder Director of Center of Excellence in Polymer Science at Karnatak University, Dharwad. During 2007-2012, he was the scientific advisor to Reliance Life Sciences, Navi Mumbai. Dr. Aminabhavi was a visiting professor at universities in USA, Taiwan, Korea, Cambridge (UK) and France.
Dr. Aminabhavi is presently the Emeritus Fellow sponsored by All India Council for Technical Education, New Delhi, India (2012-2014) and is the Research Director at Soniya College of Pharmacy. Dr. Aminabhavi has been serving as the international advisory board member of Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Wiley Inter-Science, New York, USA since1998, Polymer Plastics Technology & Engineering, Marcel Dekker, New York, USA since 2000 and Column Editor, Polymer News, Gordon Breach, New York, USA (1997-2006). Presently, he is the Associate Editor of Chemical Engineering Journal (Elsevier, New York, USA).
Dr. Aminabhavi has published 600 scientific papers including authoritative reviews in addition to three US patents on water desalination technologies and four Indian patents on drug delivery. He has supervised over 40 doctoral students and published a book on “Introduction to Macromolecular Science” (Wiley, New York, 2002).
Dr. Aminabhavi’s research interests are in areas of molecular transport, membrane-based separations, pervaporation, gas separation, electrodialysis, micro, ultra and nanofiltration and reverse osmosis water technologies, controlled release polymeric devices, micro/nanoparticles, transdermal patches and hydrogels for drugs, proteins, peptides, genes, pesticides and polymer-drug conjugates. Molecular modelling on polymeric surfaces, prediction of polymer blend compatibility, drug diffusion and gas transport, polyurethane coatings, polymer composites, dendrimers, heat resistant and conducting polymers, liquid state properties and polymer solution theories. |
