About

Dr. Jayaprakasam Selvakumar is an Indian scientist specializing in nuclear and radiochemistry. He completed his Ph.D. in Chemistry in 2010 from Loyola College, affiliated with the University of Madras. After his doctoral studies, he was awarded the Indian Prodigious KSKRA Fellowship at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre under the Department of Atomic Energy. In 2011, he joined BARC as a Scientific Officer, where he carries out advanced research in areas central to both materials chemistry and nuclear fuel cycle technologies.
Dr. Selvakumar’s research interests encompass the chemical science of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) precursors and thin-film deposition, detailed thermal studies, and the development and optimization of processes for spent nuclear fuel reprocessing. His work further includes liquid–liquid extraction and extraction chromatography techniques, formulation of borosilicate glasses for immobilization of radioactive wastes, and the treatment, vitrification, and management of high-level radioactive liquid wastes — all critical to sustainable and safe nuclear waste management practices. His publications in prestigious scientific journals reflect contributions to the fields of nuclear waste treatment and advanced material applications in radiochemical separations.
