Rate My Professor Radha Tomar

Professor Radha Tomar serves as a Professor in the School of Studies in Chemistry at Jiwaji University, Gwalior, where she has been affiliated since 1993. Born on February 18, 1962, she completed her B.Sc. (Hons.) in Chemistry and M.Sc. in Physical Chemistry from Mumbai University in 1985, followed by M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees from Jiwaji University, Gwalior, in 1989. Her career began as an Assistant Professor in a government college under the Department of Higher Education, Madhya Pradesh, in January 1990. She joined Jiwaji University as a Lecturer in the School of Studies in Chemistry in October 1993 and was promoted to Professor on January 6, 2007. She has held roles such as contact person for B.Sc. (Honors) Chemistry courses and convener or organizing secretary for numerous national and international conferences, including those on nanomaterials, spectroscopy in chemical sciences, and emerging trends in material chemistry.

Prof. Tomar's research specializes in materials science, focusing on the synthesis, characterization, and applications of mesoporous, microporous, and nanomaterials, including perovskites, nanocomposites, and composites for photocatalysis, sensors, and sorption. She has authored 99 publications listed in the university's IRINS profile (2001–2025) and 129 in ResearchGate, accumulating over 3,000 citations with an h-index of 28 as per Google Scholar. Key publications include "Facile Way of Making Hydrothermally Synthesized Crystalline WO3-ZnSe Nanocomposites" (2021), "Growth of crystalline WO3-ZnSe nanocomposites: an efficient visible light photocatalyst" (2022), "Hydrothermally grown Cu doped NiMnO3 perovskite nanocomposites" (2024), and "Study of sorption of Pb2+, Cd2+, Zn2+ and Cu2+ from aqueous solution" (2012). She has completed research projects funded by DAE, UGC, MPCST, and DRDO, supervised 12 Ph.D. students (with 4 ongoing as of earlier records), and received the Young Scientist Convention award from the Indian Chemical Society in 1989. Her work contributes to advancements in nanomaterial applications for environmental and energy fields.
