Lecturer and Chairman, Department of Physical Sciences.
Specialization area is Material Physics with an interest in biodegradable polymers and silicate materials for architectures. Carried out research on the biodegradability of blends of synthetic polymers and cellulose. In addition, has also explored the autonomous and induced crack healing ability of bituminous materials.
