Avanish Kumar SrivastavaDr. Avanish Kumar Srivastava is the Director, CSIR - Advanced Materials and Processes Research Institute, Bhopal. He received his master's degree in physics from the Indian Institute of Technology (UOR), Roorkee, MTech. in Materials Science from the ndian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, and doctorate in metallurgy from the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru. He serves as an expert for nanoscale measurements and instrumentation at ISO and BIS. He was instrumental in establishing the high-resolution electron microscopy & spectroscopy facilities at CSIR-NPL New Delhi and AMPRI Bhopal. His prolific research on the growth of engineering materials and understanding on nucleation-growth, phase transformations, microstructures & defects is outstanding and known by his peers world-wide. His in-situ annealing experiments under electron beam on the interfacial diffusion of aluminium into amorphous Si, has enlightened the dynamic process of Si-crystallization in reality. He has reported two crystal structures in polymer-tungsten oxide nanostructures and also elaborated concept of irrational twinning of cubic crystals leading to quasiperiodic structures. His work on DNA: CNT coupling is exemplary in bio-technology.
Dr. Srivastava has published 250 articles in peer reviewed journals and ten patents. He serves as Chief Editor of the journal "Applied Innovative Research". He has published a Book entitled, Oxide Nanostructures: Growth, Microstructures and Properties. He is instrumental in transferring seven technologies including non-toxic radiation shielding tiles, cement free concrete, hybrid green composites, electricity free water filter, bamboo composites, and surface plasma resonance substrate for Raman spectroscopy, to leading companies.
Dr. Srivastava is President of the Electron Microscope Society of India. He is eminent member of governing council of TIFAC, Govt. of India. As a coordinator of Young Scientists' Conclave under India International Science Festival, IISF - 2016, he was able to organize large number of plenary lectures, oral & poster presentations and demonstrations / presentations by Start-ups, etc. Read More Read Less
