Dr. Mas Subramanian, Milton Harris Professor of Materials Science at the Department of Chemistry, Oregon State University, is being honored with the 2012 Chemical Research Society of India (CRSI) Medal.\u00a0\u00a0 This medal is awarded exclusively to outstanding chemists of Indian origin who work outside of India.\u00a0 The medal will be presented to him during the 2012 CRSI 14th National Symposium in Chemistry to be held in early February in Trivandrum, India.<\/p>\n
Mas Subramanian, an internationally recognized expert on designing inorganic solid state functional materials, also Signature Faculty Fellow in the Oregon Nanoscience and Microtechnology Institute.<\/p>\n
Before joining OSU in 2006, Subramanian was a scientist at DuPont Central Research and Development.\u00a0 He has published nearly 300 papers in professional journals, which in turn received over 12,000 citations. His work yielded 54 patents that are in place or pending.\u00a0 In recognizing his outstanding contributions to science and various technologies, DuPont Company awarded him with prestigious Charles Pedersen Medal (named after Chemistry Nobel Laureate from DuPont) in 2004.<\/p>\n
An expert in such fields as high temperature superconductivity, thermoelectrics, magnetoresistive materials, catalysis and solid-state dielectrics, Subramanian is continuing his work in the discovery and development of new materials.\u00a0\u00a0 Recently Subramanian\u2019s group discovery of new intense color pigments at OSU received worldwide attention and is featured in popular press all over the world including New York Times.<\/p>\n
Subramanian received a doctoral degree from Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, India in 1982 and master\u2019s and bachelor’s degree with honors at the University of Madras in India in 1977 and 1975 respectively.<\/p>\n
