Bio

Dr. Vinod V. T. Padil received Ph.D. in Biotechnology from Acharya Nagarjuna University, India. Worked as a scientific officer at the Board of Radiation and Isotope Technology (BRIT), Department of Atomic Energy, Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) campus in Hyderabad, India (2001-2010). He completed his postdoctoral fellowship at the National University of Singapore (NUS). He was an Associate Professor/Senior Research Officer at the Institute for Nanomaterials, Advanced Technologies, and Innovation, Technical University of Liberec (TUL), Czech Republic, Central Europe and visiting faculty of water-soluble polymers at Glyndwr University, UK, and Macromolecular Chemistry II at Bayreuth University, Germany. He is currently employed as a Professor at Amrita School for Sustainable Futures (ASF), Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Amrita University, Amritapuri Campus, Kerala, India.

He has over 120 research articles, 15 book chapters, 2 books edited, invited talks and numerous research proceedings in international conferences to his credit, with an H-Index of 33. Green synthesis of nanoparticles and their applications, development of sustainable products, water and wastewater treatment, environmental bioremediation using nanostructures, bioplastics, fabrication of nanofibers, and development of functional materials for advanced applications are among his research interests. In 2020 and 2021, he was named as one of the world’s 2% most cited scientists by a group of authors affiliated with PLoS Biology, Elsevier, and Stanford University. He was recently awarded the ‘IAAM Scientist Medal’ (www.iaamonline.org/iaam-scientist-medal) for his outstanding contribution to interfacing materials for multi-disciplinary fields of science, engineering, and technology in 2023.
