About

Rajiv Prakash received his M. Tech. degree in Materials Technology from Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University, India and completed research work for his Ph.D. degree from Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Bombay, India. He is Professor of Materials Science and Technology at Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University), Varanasi, India. Currently, he is the Director of the Indian Institute of Technology, Bhilai, India and a professor of Materials Science and Metallurgical Engineering, IIT Bhilai, India. He served as a Scientist at CSIR lab in Lucknow for more than 7 years before joining Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi. He has been the recipient of the Young Scientist Award (CST), the Young Engineer Award (INAE) of India and the Materials Society Medal Award of India. His current research interests include the synthesis of morphology-controlled organic conducting polymers, nanocomposites, organic electronic devices and sensors/biosensors. He is having more than 250 publications in international journals of repute and 25 patents in his credit (out of which technology transferred for two patents). He has successfully completed various industrial projects and research projects of DST, DBT, SERB IMPRINT-2 and SPARC. He is a member of various national committees including DST-TIFAC for India Vision 2035 and MHRD “IMPRINT” program (Co-coordinator Polymer and Soft Materials), Member Defense Corridor Committee for Uttar Pradesh and Program Advisory Committee (PAC) member for the Technology Development Program (TDP) of DST (Dec 2020- Dec. 2023).
