Dr. Venkata Krishnan completed his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry of Materials in 2006 at the University of Stuttgart, Germany after completing his B.Sc. (Applied Sciences) and M.Sc. (Materials Science) at PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. Subsequently, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, U.S.A. from 2006 to 2010 and then as a research associate at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), Japan from 2010 to 2012. He joined as a faculty at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi in April 2012. His research group is mainly working in the field of Green Chemistry and Heterogeneous Catalysis for Energy and Environment Applications. He has successfully guided 9 Ph.D. and 21 M.Sc. students and is currently guiding 6 Ph.D. and 10 M.Sc. students, in addition to several short term research interns. He has published more than 150 articles in well reputed international journals and is also a reviewer for several scientific journals.
