Biography
Dr. Ponraj Mohanadoss obtained his 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. He 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. He has guided more than fifteen final year postgraduate students for their final year project, three M. Phil Microbiology students and one M. Pharmacy student. Currently he is working as Post doctorate in the University Technology, Malaysia 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. He has published 30 research 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.
