Dr. Kaviyarasu Kasinathan obtained his Master of Science (M.Sc.) & Master of Philosophy (M.Phil.) degree in Physics from Loyola College (Autonomous), Chennai, affiliated to the University of Madras, India. Dr. Kaviyarasu Kasinathan was awarded a Senior Research Fellow (SRF) by Tamil Nadu State Council of Science and Technology (TNSCST) and completed a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Physics at Manonmaniam Sundaranar University (MSU), India. He has carried out research on multifunctional metal oxide nanoparticles for energy and biomedical applications. During the course of his research work, he has published total no. of peer reviewed publications - 125 in International and national journals and delivered 35 oral/invited talks on nanomaterials; thin films; photocatalysis; biomaterials; solar energy conversion; preparation techniques and characterization studies in conferences, universities and academic institutions. Currently, at present working as a Research Scientist at iThemba LABS, Cape Town his research is directed primarily toward developing and applying modern material design for the understanding and prediction of materials science research with ion beams has been basically developed by nuclear/material physicists. It started with the development of acceleratorbased techniques for materials characterization, leading into surface studies and depth profiling. Now the swift heavy ions are being utilized for engineering the properties of materials and are exploited in almost all the emerging new areas in materials science. Our goal is to understand how to design and control the nanoscale organization of macromolecular nanomaterials and their nanocomposites in order to achieve improved structure, properties, and functionality. His research interests include bulk and nanoscaled materials for solid state physics, and multifunctional metal oxide nanomaterial.
