I am Pandian Bothi Raja, Senior Lecturer in the School of Chemical Sciences at Universiti Sains Malaysia. I have completed my studies in India and worked as post-doctorate fellow (6+ years) in School of Chemical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Faculty of Civil Engineering, University Teknologi Malaysia, and Center for Corrosion Research, Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Malaysia. My research focuses on green corrosion inhibitors, inhibitor formulations for oil and gas pipelines, volatile inhibitors for TLC mitigation, protective coatings, biogenic nanoparticles, and their applications in biosensors / supercapacitors.
