Biography 

Lt. Dr. Arun P S, hailing from Thiruvananthapuram, joined the college in October, 2015. After completing Ph.D. he joined Department of Computational Sciences, Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management-Kerala(IIITM-K), as Research Associate. Later he joined Department of Chemistry, National Institute of Technology, Calicut(NIT Calicut) as Assistant Professor(Adhoc). He has successfully completed several orientation and refresher programmes in Chemistry. He has several research papers in international journals to his credit. In addition to being a reviewer in some of the international journals, He has also been a resource person for National and International Conference in the field of Renewable Energy Materials. He also commissioned as Lieutenant(NCC Army)  during the year 2021. He is also a research guide(Chemistry, University of Kerala). He has also organized Heamparliamentarian 2017,2018,2019, 2020 &2022 (a national level workshop with debate competition for higher secondary students to create awareness in the field of “necessity renewable energy-based start-ups in the current Indian scenario”).  He also organized several workshops and other programmes for research scholars, B.Sc, B.Tech & MSc students.
