About Dr. Jayashree Ethiraj
Jayashree Ethiraj graduated in Physics in 2005 and obtained Masters in Biophysics in 2007 from University of Madras. Her Master's project was focused on single structure solution and analysis of dihydropyridine derivatives. She joined as a Project Assistant (2007- 2008) under Dr. Veda Ramaswamy, CSIR-CLRI, Chennai and carried out research on "Preparation, characterization and catalytic evaluation of pillared and metal complex encapsulated pillared clays". She moved to Italy on a Indo-Italian Program (2009-2011) and worked on "Mixed Metal oxide synthesis and its catalytic activity in converting alcohols to carbonates" under guidance of Prof. Michele Aresta, University of Bari, Italy. She worked on "Fundamental aspects of adsorptive properties of Porous MOFs" (Jan 2012-Dec 2014) and obtained her Doctorate in Chemical and Materials Science under supervision of Dr. Francesca Bonino and Prof. Carlo Lamberti, University of Turin, Italy. She did her Post-Doc in Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich, Switzerland, in "Charge dynamics in materials with interplaying charge-density-wave and super-conducting ground states: optical investigations of ZrTe3-xSex" (Apr 2015-Sep 2015) under supervision of Prof. Leonardo Degiorgi, Department of Physics, ETH Zürich. She joined IIT Madras as Institute Post Doctoral Fellow and worked on 'High pressure gas adsorption in MOF's' under Prof. Parasuraman Selvam, Head (NCCR), Department of Chemistry, IIT Madras, Chennai, India. Her expertise is in synthesis involving co-precipitation, solvothermal, ultrasonication techniques for preparation of metal/mixed metals oxides, porous metal-organic frameworks and clay composites. She worked in-situ gas adsorption and characterization of porous materials using FT-IR, Raman, UV-vis spectroscopic methods. She has widely used techniques like TGA, Surface Area analysis, SEM, TEM, EDX, Acid/base site analysis and micro-calorimetry for characterization of materials. She has authored and co-authored 14 International journal articles.
