Stanford University’s list of World Ranking of Scientists is out and Shoolini has come out tops! Seven faculty members of Shoolini University have figured in the top 2 per cent scientists of the world. This is indeed a creditable and significant achievement.
Stanford University’s research and rankings are highly respected and considered prestigious by the entire scientific community. The analysis, conducted using research publications up to 2020, was published in a peer reviewed scientific journal. The data includes all scientists who are among the top one lakh across all fields, according to the composite citation index.
Not only this, two of the researchers from Shoolini University have been included in the life-time category. They are, Dr Gaurav Sharma and Prof SS Chandel.
Dr Sharma, an Associate Professor at the School of Advanced Chemical Sciences, started his research activity in 2009 at Shoolini University and completed his research work as a PhD student. He has carried out diverse research lines, interrelated to each other based on the synthesis and characterisation of nanocomposites, hydrogels, and trimetallic nanoparticles, ion exchangers, adsorbents and photocatalysts.
Prof Chandel is a former Professor and founder Head of the Centre for Energy and Environmental Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Hamirpur. With an experience of over four decades, he is now Director, Centre of Excellence in Energy Science and Technology, Shoolini University.
Lauding the honour given to the researchers, Founder and Chancellor Prof PK Khosla said the university was proud of their achievements. Vice Chancellor Prof Atul Khosla expressed hope that the list of names from Shoolini would be even larger next year.
