Dr Venkata Nagendra Kumar’s research areas are Nuclear Analytical Chemistry and Materials Chemistry. Currently working on the synthesis of rare-earth metal doped nanomaterials for muti-utility applications like photoluminescence, anti-counterfeiting, and magnetic hyperthermia. His research also focuses on synthesizing polymeric materials and metal-organic frameworks for the adsorptive separation of metals, isolation, remediation, and their applications for gas storage and sensing properties
