Biography
D. V. Khakhar, born on 7 April 1959 in Mumbai in the Indian state of
Khakhar is known to have done researches on polymerization of rod-like molecules and his work is reported to have assisted in a wider understanding of the discipline of polymerization.[14] He has documented his researches in several articles;[15][note 2] Google Scholar and ResearchGate, online repositories of scientific articles, have listed 129[16] and 134 of them.[17] He has guided many master's and doctoral scholars in their studies[4] and holds three patents for his work.[8] viz. Method for improving particulate mixing and heat transfer in tumbling mixers and rotary kiln,[18] Polyurethane Foam−Clay Nanocomposites: Nanoclays as Cell Openers,[19] and Reticulated Vitreous Carbon Controlled Pore Size and Enhanced Electrical Conductivity.[20] On the academic administration front, during his tenure as the director of IIT Bombay, the faculty strength of institute recorded a 25 percent increase and three new centres viz. National Centre for Aerospace Innovations and Research, Centre for Climate Change Research, and the Centre for Urban Science and Engineering were established.[13] He is a member of the Science Advisory Council to the Cabinet (SAC-C)[21] as well as the Science Advisory Council to the Prime Minister of India (SAC-PM)[22] and is a former member of Indian Oil Corporation and the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) and the Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE).[23] He is an independent director of the Antrix Corporation,[24] a director of Iit Bombay Development And Relations Foundation Company and has sat in the boards of the Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers and Materials Research Society of India.[4] He is also associated with science journals and is an advisory board member of Advanced Powder Technology journal of Elsevier.[25]
Khakhar is married to Natasha Patel and the couple has two children, Arjun and Aditi. The family lives in Powai, Mumbai.[5]
Awards and honors
Khakhar received the Amar Dyechem Award of the
The Indian Academy of Sciences elected Khakhar as a fellow in 1996[3] and two years later, he was selected for the 1998 Swarnajayanti Fellowship by the Department of Science and Technology.[29] He became a fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering in 2001[6] and Indian National Science Academy[30] and the National Academy of Sciences, India followed suit in 2003 and 2009 respectively.[31] The award orations delivered by Khakhar include the 1999 Prof. N. R. Kamath & Mrs. Ruzena Kamath Memorial Lecture of the Indian Plastics Institute[8] and the 2010 Prof. N. R. Kamath Memorial Lecture of the Colour Society.[32]
