Dr.John Philip obtained his PhD  from Indian Institute of Technology, Madras and joined IGCAR in 1996, after a post doctoral stay at CNRS-CRPP, Bordeaux, France with Prof.J.R.Lalanne and Jerome Bibette. Later, he  also did a post-doctoral research    at   University of Hull, UK with Prof.B.P.Binks. He is presently  leading   the  Smart Materials section (SMARTS)  and  RTS of Metallurgy and Materials Group of Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, Kalpakkam and also a Professor of Homi Bhaba National Institute. Five Ph.D students have completed their thesis  under  his  guidance. Presently he is guiding seven Ph.D students and several M.Tech students. He has  received Science and Technology excellence award of DAE   (2006), INS  medal (2007) of Indian Nuclear Society,   ISNT NDT national award (2009), MRSI medal (2010)  and Ron Halmshaw award by British Institute of NDT in 2010. He is also a recipient of international fellowships such as Monbusho (Japan), CIES (France), Switzerland Research Fellowship. He has executed an Indo-French project on nano-emulsion during 2000-2003. He was awarded a perspective research grant of 530 lakhs for  development of advanced  nanofluids by  BRNS  in 2010. He has six patents in his  credit and over 130 publications in  leading refereed international journals. His H-index and i10-index are 26 & 59 with over 2160 citations (as on August 2013). He has delivered more than 70 invited lectures in India and abroad. Media (Nature, IOPnanotechweb, Hindu, Indian Express etc) highlighted his research work on several occasions. He is the editor-in-chief of Journal of Nanofluids and a reviewer of over 28 international journals. He is a member of several committees and Board member of School of Green energy Technologies & Nanotechnology, Pondicherry University. His Ph.D students have won the prestigious GC Jain Memorial lecture award of  MRSI in  2012, young women rising star fellowship by MIT,USA(2012) and several best poster and oral presentation awards in national and international conferences. His research activities are in the broad area of smart nanomaterials, nanofluids, soft-matter, NDT, thermal imaging and radiography.

Research interests:
