About Me

Senior Scientist in Chemistry at Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration and Research, Department of Atomic Energy., Rajasthan, India
My expertise are Nanotechnology, Renewable Energy. Dr. D. P. S. Rathore FRSC, FICS, M-ACS, IUPAC-Affiliate Member, LM-ICC (b. March 27,1955) did his Ph.D. Chemistry (1981) from A.M.U., Aligarh, India. He is former Scientific Officer-G from Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration and Research, Department of Atomic Energy, India. I have served in different capacities for 34 years, incharge of different regional Chemical Laboratories as well as served Coordinator, mobile geochemical laboratory in various parts of the country and was involved in providing the quick feedback of analytical data support for the various on-going uranium exploration projects of AMD. I am actively involved as reviewer for more than 30 international journals.
