Pushparaj Loganathan
Postdoctoral Researcher · CHRIST (Deemed to be University)
Research Interests
Inorganic Chemistry, Organometallic, Metal- Organic Framework (MOFs), and Material Chemistry Application for Energy and Environmental Remediation
Biography
is an accomplished researcher specializing in inorganic and materials chemistry, with expertise in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), organometallic synthesis, and hybrid functional materials. His research focuses on developing novel porous materials for energy storage, catalysis, and environmental applications. Dr. Pushparaj Loganathan earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from SRM Institute of Science and Technology, India, in 2023, where he explored silsesquioxane-based inorganic-organic hybrid materials and metal silsesquioxanes for advanced functional applications. His work led to the successful synthesis of superhydrophobic hybrid materials for oil-water separation and catalytic applications. During his Ph.D., he was awarded a prestigious position as a Project Associate in a DST-SERB-funded project, further refining his expertise in designing bifunctional catalysts for organic transformations. Currently, Dr. Pushparaj Loganathan is a Postdoctoral Fellow at CHRIST University, India
