Dr. D. Gangadharan did his Post Graduation in Chemistry at P. S. G. College of Arts and Science, under Bharathiar University, India. He completed his Doctoral dissertation in Chemistry from Central Salt & Marine Chemicals Research Institute (CSIR), under Bhavnagar University, India.

His doctoral studies were focused on the Synthesis of Biocidal Polymers. During his study he developed Biocidal Polymers based on Biocidal Functional Groups, Halogen releasing Functional Polymers and Polymers containing Nano and Micro Particles of Silver and Copper for the Disinfection of Water. His research work was supported by Senior Research Fellowship from CSIR, India.

During his research period in CSMCRI, he was also involved in developing speciality polymers for the removal of arsenic from the ground water and development of a field test kit for arsenic. This research work was supported by Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF).
