Dr. E. BHOJE GOWD
Dr. E. Bhoje Gowd received his M.Sc. (Tech) in Polymer Science and Technology from Sri Krishnadevaraya University, Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh and his Ph.D. from the University of Pune, Pune (work carried out at CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory). He worked as a post-doctoral fellow at Toyota Technological Institute, Nagoya, Japan and as an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research, Dresden, Germany. After a short stay at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore as a Centenary post-doctoral fellow, he joined CSIR-National Institute for Interdisciplinary Science and Technology (CSIR-NIIST), Thiruvananthapuram as a SERB Ramanujan Fellow.
