Dr. Sanjay Thakare
Professor (Chemistry)
Profile
Dr. Sanjay Thakare's Research rooted in materials chemistry and nanomaterials, which at first glance may seem more “pure chemistry / materials science,” these areas are very relevant to forensic science (especially forensic chemistry) — for example, in the development of new sensors, catalysts that may degrade forensic stains, or nanomaterials that can enhance detection sensitivity. Work on perovskites and nanocomposites for latent fingerprint development is directly related to application in forensic Science. His interest of research has by combining environmental remediation with forensic application, he seems to bridge “green chemistry” and “forensic chemistry.” He has 60 publications listed, ~1,100+ citations, indicating a reasonably strong research output and four book title. As a senior faculty and director of a the institute, he likely shapes the education and research direction of forensic chemistry and allied areas in the GIFS, Nagpur.
