Dr Anil K Suresh, Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences and Principal Investigator of the Bionanotechnology and Sustainable Lab, has achieved yet another feat with his ground-breaking work in sustainable nanoscience. His lab, committed to eco-conscious research, focuses on the sustainable synthesis of nanoparticles for applications in drug delivery, environmental remediation, and catalysis.

An outstanding accolade of his mentorship is the recent achievement of Dr Chandra Shekhar Bhatt, his former PhD student and Postdoctoral Scholar, who has secured the prestigious Fondecyt Postdoctoral Fellowship 2025 in Chile—ranking 4th globally and receiving over ₹85 lakhs in funding.

Under Dr Suresh’s guidance, their collaboration led to 12+ high-impact publications and global recognition, including features in C&EN, USA. Dr Suresh’s contributions span 64 Scopus-indexed papers, 27 book chapters, 4 books, 7 patents, and numerous fellowships and awards. Through his start-up, GreenGen Science Solutions, he champions scalable green innovations like the revolutionary “Jumbocatalyst” for hydrogenation reactions, “specfilm” for UV-spectroscopy, and “ultra-stable gold nanoparticles” transforming waste into eco-saving technologies.

Dr Anil K Suresh’s remarkable journey and the ripple effect of his visionary leadership inspire all researchers at the SRM AP community. Dr Chandra S Bhatt’s success in securing the prestigious fellowship is a testament to the high-quality research conducted at SRM AP.
