About

Professor Pravin More was born on May 1, 1971, in Jalgaon, Maharashtra, India. He obtained his M.Sc. degree in Physics from North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon, in 1994, followed by M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees in Physics from the University of Pune in 1998 and 2004, respectively. His doctoral research focused on the study and characterization of inorganic resistive materials for sensing applications.

From 1995 to 1998, he served as a Research Fellow at the Department of Physics, University of Pune. In June 1998, he joined the Department of Physics and Electronics at various colleges under Pune University, where he worked as a Lecturer in Physics. Dr. More later established the Nano Material Application Laboratory at the Government Institute of Science, Mumbai, and the Novel Material Research Laboratory at the Government Vidarbha Institute of Science, Amravati.

Throughout his career, Dr. More has supervised 10 M.Phil. students and Eight (8) Ph.D. students, with an additional few Ph.D. scholars currently working under his guidance. He has published more than 50 research articles in reputed national and international journals. His research is primarily aimed at developing integrated micro-sensing systems, especially sensors for industrial, agricultural, and space applications.

His areas of research interest include the study, fabrication, and characterization of chemical, biochemical, polymer, and optical sensors, with a focus on microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS), micromachining, and solid-state device technology. Recently, his work has involved the development of graphene materials modified with elements such as iron (Fe), rubidium (Rb), and rhodium (Rh).

Dr. More has been recognized with several awards, including the Best Industrial Oriented Work Award (1999), the Department of Science and Technology Research Fellowship (1998), and he also served as a Research Fellow for a project sponsored by the Volkswagen Foundation, Germany (2003). He has presented and published numerous ( more than 60) papers in international and national journals, conferences, symposia, and workshops.

He received the Best Oral Presentation Award at AMDP2011 in Takushima, Japan (July 18, 2011), where he also served as a session chair. Additionally, he chaired sessions and presented papers at the Advanced Materials World Congress (AMWC-2015) in Sweden. Recently, he has presented multiple research papers at prestigious forums, including two papers at the Advanced Materials World Congress (August 2015, Stockholm, Sweden), three papers at the International Conference on Materials Science & Technology (ICMTech-2016) in New Delhi, India, and two papers at the American Advanced Materials Congress (December 4–9, 2016, Miami, USA). During his visit to the USA, he also toured the Kennedy Space Center in Orlando, Florida.
