Dr. Santosh Choudhari

Associate Professor

Dr. Santosh K. Choudhari is an Assistant Professor in Chemistry at Dayananda Sagar University, Bangalore, where he has been serving since 2016. He earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Karnatak University, Dharwad, specializing in polymeric membranes for pervaporation separation of aqueous–organic mixtures. His research has consistently focused on the development of advanced membranes for sustainable separation processes, particularly in the recovery and purification of biofuels and biochemicals. Following his doctorate, Dr. Choudhari pursued postdoctoral research at Myongji University, South Korea; Trinity College Dublin; and University College Dublin, Ireland, where he contributed significantly to membrane-based separation technologies. His work has addressed challenges in the recovery of butanol, butyric acid, and other biochemicals, with notable success in developing high-performance hybrid and nanocomposite membranes. He has authored numerous publications in reputed international journals and has presented at global conferences. His research excellence has been recognized through awards such as the Young Scientist Award (2006, 2007) by the Indian Chemical Society and the CRANN IDF Incentive Award (2013) in Ireland. He has also filed patents on innovative membrane technologies. With over a decade of research and teaching experience, Dr. Choudhari continues to advance green separation technologies, fostering innovation in energy andd environmental sustainability.
