Besides being an erudite science scholar, Dr V. Aroulmoji is an experienced scientist with great expertise in the field of research. He has infallible and unfathomable knowledge in the field of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy. His practical experience in the domains of Chemical and Biological Sciences, Renewable Energy, Pharmaceutical Science and Nanotechnology has carved a niche among the very few renowned researchers. He was awarded Doctoral degree in Physics from Pondicherry Central University, India and D.Sc in Industrial Chemistry from the University of Reims Champagne - Ardennes, France. He rendered remarkable service in many a reputed international organization in France, UK and Italy under various titles as Post-Doctoral scientist, Senior Research Scientist, and Facility manager.
His scientific research in optical technology was well supported by various reputed organizations in France. In recognition of his vast knowledge in the field of research, he was made the Vice-President of Protos Research Institute, Trieste, Italy. He held one of the most coveted positions as manager of NMR Facility of Eurand SpA (Aptalis TM), Area Science Park, Trieste, Italy for more than six years. His contribution to the development of anticancer polymer-drug conjugates and nanostructure drug carriers is highly commendable. As the Project Coordinator of ARCHES, Italy, he rendered invaluable service and focused on research in nanotechnology, functional foods and renewable energy. He also served in the capacity of an independent expert of the European Commission, Belgium, for the technical evaluation of project proposals on future and emerging technologies of the photovoltaic sector. Apart from being the Director of Research and Development, Mahendra Educational Institutions since 2014, he is the Editor-in-Chief of International Journal of Advanced Science and Engineering (IJASE). He has co-authored over 100 peer-reviewed research articles published in National and International scientific journals. In addition, he has been awarded Junior, Senior Research Fellowship by Government of India and Post-Doctoral fellowship from France.
