Ajayan Vinu is a scientist. He is Professor of Nanomaterials at the Future Industries Institute, University of South Australia since 2015.[1] He is well known in the field of mesoporous carbon nitride and was the first one to introduce porosity in carbon nitride materials.[2]

Early life and education

Ajayan Vinu was born in a small village located at the extreme South of India called Arumanai in Kanyakumari district in Tamil Nadu, India. He received his Bachelor's and master's degrees in chemistry from Manonmaniam Sundaranar University (MSU) in Tirunelveli district, India (1993-1998). He received his PhD degree in 2003 from Anna University, India, however, he carried out most of his PhD thesis work at kaiserslautern University of Technology, Germany.

Research career

In 2004 he moved to the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS),[3] Japan as an International Young Scientist fellow. He has published more than 300 papers in journals with ca. 14,000 citations and an H-index of 61 (google scholar).[4] He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and Editor in chief of Advanced Porous Materials.,[5] an Australian editor of the Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology.[6] During his tenure at NIMS, he was appointed as the NIMS Ambassador to India, and was instrumental in setting up the NIMS-India research centre at Indian Institute of Chemical Technology and appointed to serve as a Research Director for this Center.[7]

Awards and honors

  • Scopus Young Researcher Award- Elsevier 2014[8]
  • Bessel Humboldt Award (2010)[9]
  • CSJ Young Chemist Award (2010)[10]
  • Khwarizmi International Award for applied research at 21st session in 2008 alongside Prof C. N. R. Rao who received this award for innovation[11]
