Rate My Professor Jigneshkumar Rohit

Dr. Jigneshkumar V. Rohit serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology (SVNIT), Surat, Gujarat, India, a position he has held since October 2025. He previously worked as Assistant Professor (Grade-I and Grade-II) at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, from October 2018 to August 2025, engaging in teaching and research. Rohit earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from SVNIT Surat in 2017, with a thesis titled 'Molecular Assembly of Dithiocarbamate Derivatives on Metal (Ag and Au) Nanoparticles for Colorimetric Detection of Pesticides,' supervised by Dr. Suresh Kumar Kailasa. He holds an M.Sc. in Organic Chemistry from Sardar Patel University, Anand, in 2011, and a B.Sc. in Chemistry from Veer Narmad South Gujarat University, Surat, in 2009.

Rohit's research focuses on nanochemistry, including the design of nanomaterials for agricultural, medical, and environmental applications, development of nanomaterial-based sensors for pesticides, heavy metals, and veterinary drugs, and green synthesis of nanomaterials for antimicrobial, anticancer, disease diagnosis, and drug delivery purposes. He has published over 26 papers in international journals, with key works such as 'A fluorescent nanohybrid sensor based on carbon dots encapsulated in a metal organic framework for highly selective and sensitive detection of mercury' (CrystEngComm, 2025), 'Surface functionalized MXene as emerging 2D optical sensors for the monitoring of chemical and biological contaminants' (FlatChem, 2025), 'Ligand exchange reactions on citrate-gold nanoparticles for parallel colorimetric assay of six pesticides' (New Journal of Chemistry, 2018), and 'Simple and selective detection of pendimethalin herbicide in water and food samples based on the aggregation of ractopamine-dithiocarbamate functionalized gold nanoparticles' (Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical, 2017). His scholarship has earned approximately 1,289 citations on Google Scholar. Awards include a scholarship from Elsevier Publication and TEQIP-II (SVNIT) for presenting at the International Conference on Optical Chemical Sensors and Biosensors in Austria (2016) and the Best Key Note Speaker Award at the International Summit on Material Science Nanotechnology & Bio Manufacturing in Malaysia (2021).
