Rate My Professor Amilan Jose

Dr. D. Amilan Jose serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Kurukshetra, Haryana, India, a position he has held since joining the institution in June 2013. He holds an M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the Central Salt and Marine Chemicals Research Institute (CSMCRI), a CSIR laboratory in Bhavnagar, Gujarat. Prior to his appointment at NIT Kurukshetra, he conducted postdoctoral research at Bielefeld University, Germany. Amilan Jose was born and raised in southern Tamil Nadu, India.

Jose's research focuses on supramolecular analytical chemistry, particularly the design of chemical and bio-sensors, molecular recognition probes, and delivery systems for gasotransmitters such as nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). His work involves photoactive materials, inorganic photochemistry, catalysis, and self-assembled nanostructures including liposomes, micelles, niosomes, and supramolecular organic-inorganic hybrid gels for light-activated therapeutic release. He is the principal investigator on projects funded by the Department of Science and Technology, India, such as 'Photoinduced release of therapeutic nitric oxide (NO) from functionalized self-assembled nanovesicles' and 'Supramolecular fluorescent probes for selective detection of biological signaling molecule H2S and real-time imaging'. With 115 publications listed on ResearchGate and over 4,244 citations on Google Scholar (h-index 20), his impactful contributions include 'Photoresponsive Nitric Oxide Release from Aggregation-Induced Emission Luminogen' (2025), 'Nitric Oxide, Singlet Oxygen, and Peroxynitrite Release from Photoresponsive Material' (2025), 'Selective sensing of paraquat by simple off-the-shelf anthracene carboxamide' (2024), 'Multi-nanocarrier Strategy for Light-Activated Nitric Oxide Release Ruthenium Nitrosyl Complexes in Liposomes, Micelles and Niosomes for Cancer Therapy' (2025), and 'Multianalytes Sensing Probe: Fluorescent Moisture Indicator in Organic Solvents' (2021, cited 53 times). Jose received the Best Faculty Award for Research from NIT Kurukshetra in 2018 and was recognized in Stanford University's list of the top 2% scientists worldwide in 2024.
