Bio

Dr. Jitha S. Jayan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Amritapuri Campus, Kerala, India. She obtained her Ph.D. in Chemistry (Polymer Nanocomposites) from Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham in 2020.

Dr. Jayan has over ten years of experience spanning teaching, academic research, and industrial R&D. She began her academic career as a Teaching Assistant in the Department of Chemistry at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham (2017–2019). She later served as a Guest Lecturer at Devaswom Board Pampa College and as an Ad hoc Faculty member in the Department of Chemistry at the National Institute of Technology Calicut. She subsequently worked as a Principal Project Associate at Tata Steel Ltd. under the India Innovation Centre for Graphene (IICG) at C-MET, Thrissur, where she contributed to the development of graphene-based advanced materials for industrial applications. She then joined Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham as a Postdoctoral Fellow (2023–2026), conducting research on smart polymer composites, sustainable materials, and multifunctional nanomaterials before assuming her current position as Assistant Professor.

Her research interests encompass polymer nanocomposites, epoxy and rubber composites, graphene- and MXene-based materials, piezoelectric polymers, hydrogels, self-healing materials, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, smart sensors, functional coatings, and sustainable materials for energy and environmental applications.

Dr. Jayan has published more than 90 peer-reviewed research articles in different journals from different publishers like ACS, Elsevier, Wiley, Springer Nature and Taylor francis. She has authored over 30 book chapters, and edited an Elsevier book.

She has been recognized among the Stanford–Elsevier Top 2% Scientists for her research contributions and actively serves as a reviewer for leading international journals published by ACS, Elsevier, Wiley, Springer Nature, and other major publishers.

Her current research is dedicated to developing innovative, sustainable, and multifunctional materials that address challenges in energy, healthcare, environmental remediation, and advanced engineering while fostering interdisciplinary collaborations and mentoring the next generation of scientists.
