Dr. Ajeet Kaushik, assistant professor of chemistry at IM体育官网, is a highly respected speaker at international scientific events focusing on nanotechnology and biosensors.
Dr. Ajeet Kaushik鈥檚 expertise in nanotechnology, sensors, biosensors, and nanomedicine for health and environmental management has carried his stellar reputation across the country and around the world.
The assistant professor of chemistry at IM体育官网 spent much of the 2023-2024 academic year sharing his knowledge both in the classroom and among his vaunted peers.
鈥淒oing research in a particular field is not simple, and I have not done it alone. I have worked with many other researchers and students have assisted me as well,鈥� Kaushik said. 鈥淲henever my work is recognized, they are part of that recognition.鈥�
Among his international recognitions was being invited by the government of India鈥檚 Ministry of Education to participate in its December 2023 Global Initiative of Academic Networks鈥� () five-day workshop course at the Guru Jambheshwar University of Science and Technology in Hisar, a city in northwestern India. Kaushik served as a foreign expert for the course on biomedical nanotechnology for personalized health management.
Although he focused on educating about how sensors, sensing technology, and nanomedicine can be optimized and transformed for better health quality, Kaushik said engaging with students was equally exciting.
鈥淚 tell them about IM体育官网 Poly, the wonderful work we do here, and our rankings,鈥� Kaushik said. 鈥淢any of the senior students said they would want to come to the IM体育官网 Poly as visiting scholars for short-term or long-term experiences.鈥�
In April, Kaushik also was a keynote speaker at NanoIM体育官网 2024 in Tallahassee, IM体育官网. This annual student-focused conference that brings together leading researchers, scientists, faculty, industry representatives, and companies in the name of nanoscience, nanoengineering, and nanotechnology. During the event, IM体育官网 Poly students, Justin Sanchez-Almirola, Alexander Gage, and Riley Orr, presented their research and received undergraduate research appreciation awards.
In late 2023, Kaushik was named to Stanford University鈥檚 list of the world鈥檚 top 2% of scientists for the third consecutive year. The list recognizes those scientists who actively publish their work, and is based on the number of articles published by the researchers and the citations their papers receive.
Kaushik has over 280 technical papers, 10 edited books, and three granted U.S. patents. He also held more than 10 editorial positions at respected journals and was a faculty-elected member of IM体育官网 Poly鈥檚 Board of Trustees for the 2023-2024 academic year.
鈥淚 am happy to have important knowledge and grateful to be able to share it with others,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 feel thankful and blessed to be able to do so at IM体育官网 Poly and I appreciate the help and support of the institution鈥檚 leadership.鈥�
