RESUME
About Myself
Dr. PONRAJ MOHANADOSS. Today is the one who took under graduation degree in
Microbiology from M.I.E.T Arts and Sciences College, under Bharathidasan
University, Trichy, India in 1998, also holding Masters degree in
Microbiology from ANJAC college under Madurai Kamaraj University, Sivakasi,
India in 2000 and holding PhD degree(Microbiology) from Agharkar Research
Institute under Pune University, Pune, India in 2009. He started his
carrier after master's degree in 2001 as a lecturer in private college at
Tamilnadu, India before doing his Ph.D. He had been teaching in various
subjects related to microbiology such as environmental, food and dairy,
medical and environmental microbiology and biotechnology. Developed keen
interest in environmental studies, wanted to grow up as an environmental
microbiologist and finally pursued the carrier as PhD with respect to
environmental related topic as a main focus. Has guided more than fifteen
final year postgraduate students for their final year project, three M.
Phil microbiology students and one M. Pharmacy student mainly in aspects
related to environmental microbial studies few to mention are textile dye
degradation, EPS production, waste water characterization studies,
Biodegradable plastic production etc.,. Even after the award of the thesis
continued teaching as Assistant Professor in private college in India until
joined as Post Doctorate in the University Technology, Malaysia till date
and involved in various activities of research like making project
proposals for achieving grant, publishing paper in journals, assisting the
PhD students for their research work as technical supervisor. After PhD has
published five papers in the Journal, has received one Indian patent to his
credit for invention of a process for producing copolymer (biodegradable
plastic) from microorganism and has attended various conferences, symposia
and workshops. His main goal in near feature is to develop or create
sustainable environmental conditions related to environmental related
issues which can contribute to human welfare, to create awareness and to
protect the environment from further depicts whose benefits can be served
even to the oncoming generations.
