Assist. Prof. Tamilselvan Mohan obtained his Master of Science in Chemistry in 2006 from the Kanchi Mamunivar Centre for Post Graduate Studies (KMCPGS), Pondicherry, India. In 2007, Dr. Mohan graduated from the Pondicherry University with a Master of Philosophy (M.Phil) degree in Chemistry. From 2007-2009, Dr. Mohan worked as a Junior Research Fellow (JRF) in the Pondicherry University (India) under the supervision of Prof. K. Anbalagan. Dr. Mohan pursued his Ph.D degree in the field of surface modification of polysaccharide cellulosic materials for Biosensor application from the University of Maribor, Maribor, Slovenia under the guidance of Prof. Karin Stana-Kleinschek. Dr. Mohan joined as a post-doctoral fellow (February-May 2013) in the group of Prof. Günter Reiter, Albert-Ludwig-University of Freiburg, Germany. From May 2013 - June 2017 he worked on the solid-liquid interface studies, design of nanoparticles-polymer composites and tailoring of natural (e.g. cellulose) and synthetic polymeric surfaces for obtaining new functional properties in the University of Graz in the group of Prof. Volker Ribitsch. Since July 2017 he is working in the group of Prof. Stana Kleinschek, University of Maribor, where he mainly focuses on the development of various types of functional materials for flame-retardant, paper conservation and tissue engineering applications.
