Bio
Dr. Narendra Mathakari obtained his M.Sc. (Physics) degree from Department of Physics, SPPU in 1989 and Ph.D degree from the same department and university in 2009, He has a vast teaching experience of over 30 years and research experience of over 15 years. He has published 11 research papers in international journals. and 4 papers in international conference proceedings. He has also presented papers at 9 national and international conferences. He has also published 10 science popularization articles in newspapers and delivered science popularization talks at various places. His research interests include radiation processing of polymers and composites and viscoelastic and acoustic properties of binary and ternary liquids. He currently has research facilities, including an Abbe refractometer, a density measurement device, a viscometry system, and an ultrasonic interferometer all with constant temperature baths. He has also published a book on “Experiments in Engineering Physics”. Currently his book on “Concepts of Engineering Physics” is in the process of publication. During his career in MIT WPU, he received the MIT Foundation Day Award in 2008 and MIT Ideal Teacher Award in 2009.
