Alumni

A database for alumni has been built and will be regularly updated. This endeavor was launched with the goal of maintaining alumni engagement so that alumni can learn about their batch mates' whereabouts and profit from the placement cell, where vacancies and opportunities can be utilized. This also aids in identifying possible graduates who, if willing, may provide valuable service to the institute. As a result, the alumni association serves as a forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences on topics of mutual.

I am Dr. KASI GOPINATH, Ph.D., Reg. No: 0213, from the academic year 2010-2016. I express my gratitude to the Department of Nanoscience and Technology at Alagappa University for providing us with a systematic learning experience in nanoscience. Over the past 15 years, I have fostered strong relationships with all the staff, Dr. A. Arumugam, finding them to be interactive and engaging. My research supervisor, Professor., has been instrumental in supporting both my research and personal development. Through my studies, I gained a profound understanding of the fundamentals of nanotechnology, which has proven invaluable in my postdoctoral research endeavors. I have collaborated with Assistant Professor Dr. C. Balalakshmi within the same department for the past seven years. Obtaining my Ph.D. has significantly elevated my life internationally, leading me to complete two postdoctoral positions and pursue a third at Chiang Mai University in Thailand. Recognized as one of the World's Top 2% scientists in the 2023 Stanford University Ranking, I specialize in Inorganic and Nuclear Chemistry. I attribute all my achievements to the visionary leadership of Dr. RM. ALAGAPPA CHETTIAR, who believed that education shapes individuals into exemplary beings for life. We proudly embody his ideology in our endeavors.
