Über Autor(innen)

Dr Suresh Babu Krishna Moorthy has dual Master’s in Science (Chemistry) and Engineering (Materials Science). He completed his Ph.D. from Indian Institute of Technology – Madras (IITM), India in 2005 and has been working in the area of nanostructures since 2000. He was working with University of Central Florida, USA (2006-2010) before joining as Assistant Professor with Centre for Nanoscience and Technology, Pondicherry University, Puducherry. His current research focuses on thin films for solid oxide fuel cells and high temperature oxidation protection of components. In addition he is also interested on the development of multifunctional nanostructures for theranostic applications.
