Prof. Dr. Rajender Boddula currently serves as an Associate Professor, in the School of Sciences, at Woxsen University, Hyderabad, Telangana, India. He is also an Adjunct Professor, at Graphic Era Hill University, in India. He attained his MSc in Organic Chemistry, (Kakatiya University, 2008) and PhD from Kakatiya University and CSIR–Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad, India (2014). His doctoral work focused on polyaniline-based materials for supercapacitor and catalytic applications, which laid a strong interdisciplinary foundation for his research career. Following his doctorate, Dr. Boddula pursued a distinguished postdoctoral trajectory across several major global research centers. He was awarded the Chinese Academy of Sciences President’s International Fellowship (CAS-PIFI) and conducted research at the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology, in Beijing. He further refined his expertise as a postdoctoral researcher at the National Tsing-Hua University, in Taiwan, and at the Center for Advanced Materials, at Qatar University. His postdoctoral work encompassed advanced novel nanomaterials, drug delivery, catalysis, hydrogen energy, and CO₂ valorization, driving sustainable solutions for energy and environmental challenges. Professor Boddula’ s major research interests span next-gen materials, green catalysis, environmental remediation, sustainable energy conversion & storage technologies, and hydrogen energy.
