Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Dr. Chidambaram Thamaraiselvan's research focuses on developing solutions for water pollution and biofouling in membrane filtration systems. His work includes the creation of electrically conductive membranes and spacers utilizing carbon materials, as well as investigating the degradation of micropollutants through these electro-conductive membranes. Earlier in his career, his doctoral research addressed the prevention of organic and inorganic fouling during textile dye wastewater treatment and the recovery of brine from such wastewater.

His publications demonstrate a focus on electrochemical methods for pollutant removal, including studies on laser-induced graphene membranes for organic and inorganic contaminant removal and electrochemical degradation of emerging pollutants. He has also explored the use of sustainable materials, such as superhydrophobic candle soot and green metal-based nanoparticles, for membrane fouling control and the removal of heavy metal ions like Cr(VI) and Pb. His work also extends to air filtration, with research into low-voltage bacterial and viral killing using laser-induced graphene-coated filters.

Dr. Thamaraiselvan has an h-index of 18 with over 1,184 citations across 44 publications. He has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Ranil Wickramasinghe, Thomas McKean, and Rohana Liyanage, on multiple shared publications.
