Rate My Professor Shibu E. S.

Dr. Shibu E. S. serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Nanoscience and Technology at the University of Calicut. He leads the Smart Materials Lab, focusing on the synthesis and applications of precision nanoclusters, self-assembled superstructures, luminescent quantum dots, and advanced materials for energy conversion, bioimaging, and light-emitting devices. His research contributions are evidenced by over 2,250 citations on Google Scholar under the profile Shibu Sidharth, affiliated with the University of Calicut. Key publications include 'Adsorbed Carbon Monoxide-Enabled Self-Terminated Au Nanocluster Synthesis' (2024, Europe PMC), 'Carbon-Supported Platinum-Grafted Gold–Nickel Trimetallic Nanoclusters as Efficient Electrocatalysts for Hydrogen Evolution' (ACS Applied Energy Materials, 2025), and 'Self-Assembled Smart Superstructures for Unique Optical and Catalytic Properties' featured on his departmental profile. He has secured research funding from DST-SERB for projects involving junior research fellows and advanced nanomaterials. Dr. Shibu E. S. supervises PhD students in nanoscience and has been recognized as a research guide by the University of Calicut.

Dr. Shibu E. S. obtained his MSc in Chemistry from St. Thomas College, Thrissur, under the University of Calicut in 2004, followed by a PhD in Chemistry from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras starting in 2005. His postdoctoral experience includes a JSPS Post-Doctoral Fellowship associated with Prof. Vasudevan Biju and a Research Associate position associated with Padma Shri Prof. T. Pradeep. He is listed as an Indian JSPS Alumni member. Additional roles encompass membership in the Academic Council of the University of Calicut from 2014 to 2024, participation in university committees such as PURSE Project Implementation, and contributions to events like DST-sponsored training programs. His work has appeared in high-impact journals including ACS Nano and The Journal of Physical Chemistry C, demonstrating influence in the field of nanoscience through collaborative efforts on noble metal nanoclusters and electrocatalysts. Dr. Shibu E. S. has also been involved in securing central government grants for renewable fuel research at the University of Calicut.
