Good day, Ramesh Singh. I'm Arjun. I've had a look through your background and your professional record. I'm interested in hearing more about your work and how you see yourself fitting in here with our faculty. Ready to start?

And then get this time.

Yeah. So my name is Ms. Singh. I'm currently working as a.

Hello.

Professor

And then we went to the next poster says hello at the Grand National University.

To add my PhD degree in.

Uh attend this UH sentiment material from preparation for and NP.

I learned about the self assembly and tattered synthesis.

And and that.

Their applications for different type of.

Applications like uh, debt delivery supplies and uh, antibiotics.

As it means that materials were.

I see. Could you clarify or expand on what you mean regarding your work with materials? Are you discussing your PhD research focus?

Yes, yeah, my usually research focus on that, uh, satisfaction material.

I did the synthesis.

And then we analyze them, we investigate them for their health assembly.

All sorts of types.

Behavior and how to make them well structured, manufactured to manipulate these structures or that biomedical purposes and mostly we use for debt delivery purpose and the antibacterial activity for tuition vendors.

Yes, yes.

Yeah. So that what is, uh, from my, uh, uh, doctoral research. And then I moved to, uh, my first, first job in IIT Gandhinagar and I worked in DNA nanotechnology where we did, uh, we synthesized that DNA nano phase.

DNA in any case are also self assembling materials, DNA based materials and they have a very good payload capacity and delivery.

They can be used as a delivery address.

So I work there for uh.

Cancer treatment for adaptive delivery system for cancer and for neurological disease.

And then I moved to from there to my current position. Actually I moved in still in Colorado State University and I started my work on biomedical implant devices where I started working to functionalize titanium surface with biopolymers and other organic materials to make it more biocompatible for the device, especially to.

And bacterial infections on that medical devices.

Good integration with the tissues and also investigate that blood interaction with the devices that this.

Yeah.

Yes, yes. So I have an e-mail address from multidisciplinary work experience. So from the chemistry to computer chemistry to materials and regularly now in biomedical engineering and.

So yeah, it's a.

And good things for me that I have that experience to work in the center.

And.

That's that's it. You, you, you know what you are.

Feel free to continue. I'm here to listen and take note of your extensive experience.

I do that.

OK.

Yeah.

I said I don't have any direct experience with the artificial intelligence.

Can you explain how you have integrated

But I sometimes I use. I take help from that nowadays that generative.

Writing for my.

Sense literature search and all these things, but I don't have any director.

Additional Intelligence Expo.

My emotional work is on that Level 3, so I do that. Level 3 works from biological experiment chemical synthesis.

And set this modification to my schedule. This comes from that and.

Thank you, Professor Singh. Let’s now shift our focus to your teaching experience. Can you elaborate on your approach to teaching both theory and laboratory courses effectively?

That's it. So I generally.

Believe on that two these 2 whatever we are teaching to reach at that last student in the bank and so for that I mostly believe to make a inclusive environment and.

Uh, did some interesting facts.

From our daily life to correlate the science via and when to deal with that and other things to as possible to visualize the things means that practical and theory makes that practical and theory. Then the student can feel that science.

And there will be more curious to know about that things. So this is my first thing and I I believe on of course, in mentoring and from the my journey during my PhD, I was a teaching assistant also. I had teaching assistant also. So I teach a lot of of course that time I was in chemistry department. So I think lot of chemistry or in chemistry, chemistry is my favorite one at that time.

And.

As I grow in my research, I came into postdocs at IIT Gandhi Nagar and and polarization at my right position. I mentored many short term trainees and graduated student PhD students in my lab. So I believe I had a good experience with that and I can be.

A good independent Pi now.

Thank you, Professor Singh. Your emphasis on creating an inclusive environment, correlating science with real-life examples, and combining practical and theoretical approaches is commendable. Your experience mentoring students and teaching during your academic journey reflects your dedication to academia. Moving on, could you discuss how you approach student evaluation and exam responsibilities? Specifically, how do you ensure fairness and thoroughness in evaluating diverse student abilities?

Yeah, of course. So every student has their own abilities. They have different abilities.

So I believe that.

Every student has different IP labels as well, so I generally try to know through the examples what they want to be say to me. So mostly my as I I I try.

Listen please and some test class test.

And also I also take feedbacks from the student if they didn't get me. Exactly exactly.

Yeah, I didn't find that they are not understanding. So I also try to make 3 feedbacks, then I can search more directly.

Then.

I think I think that.

Please continue—I'm listening.

Can you repeat?

Certainly. Thank you, Professor Singh, for elaborating on your approach. You mentioned understanding diverse student abilities, utilizing class tests, and seeking student feedback to improve their learning experience. It showcases your commitment to fairness and adaptability in student evaluation. Let us now move forward to discuss your experience in guiding student projects and research activities. Can you share some insights on this?

As I grow in the research environment, so uh, and I tend to, uh, mentor them, uh.

Yeah, so, uh.

I I remember that I.

I did see at least through my transfer my expertise to them directly, but in the same time I realized that I have to give them small problems even they are already known problems and already solved the problem. But I just put the small problems then and try to make them how they will solve it and also.

Uh, curious to know check that how uh their metabolism they used to.

Identify the problem and how they approach to the problem to solve it. This is my end. Just mentor them uh and they are doing something wrong to realize them or.

And did did mention task like that they can test their things so my.

I believe is that to stand for, uh, to think?

Thank you, Professor Singh. Your strategy of assigning small, solvable problems to students and observing their problem-solving approaches reflects a thoughtful mentoring style. It’s commendable how you guide them to develop critical thinking skills while ensuring they learn from their own experiences. Let’s now shift to discussing your research contributions. Can you provide an overview of your research publications in reputed journals and their impact on the academic or healthcare fields?

Yeah, of course. So, uh, I'm very, uh, happy, uh, with my research experience and my research output, uh, from, from the beginning, uh, from, uh, uh, my PhD works to, uh, still now. So I had a good publication report. Uh, I have 45 research articles, uh, still. And these are all in requisite.

Q1 Journals and international artists generals.

And they are mostly on that first thing is and.

A synthesis of nanomaterials through bottom-up approach self assembly materials. They are mostly of salt peptide based materials and the the main application from that is my antibacterial activity and creating nanostructure and understanding their mechanism of formation.

And, uh, then the other thing is, uh, the drug delivery, my output is also one with the drug delivery and currently, uh, which I am published, I have already published in my current position as well. So that is worse in that translational research, uh, in the medical implant devices that is making it more biocompatible and fit for that, uh, healthcare.

Your extensive publication record, particularly in high-impact journals, underscores your significant contributions to fields like nanomaterials, drug delivery, and biomedical devices. It's commendable that your research spans from fundamental science to translational applications, addressing real-world healthcare challenges. Moving onward, could you elaborate on any experience you have with industry projects or consultancy? For example, how have you contributed to bridging academia and industry?

Yeah, Actually I don't have any experience directly to contributed with that industry collaboration, but recently I, I.

I'll write a grant with that industry for my π So this is a grant for.

The surface functionalization for.

Minimizing that infection is the control, infection control and.

Yeah, this is my starting with the industrial contribution, but yeah, I also had five one patent on that.

Success functionalizes and for infection control and and.

And continuously looking on that and definitely I will do some good collaboration.

Your initiative in writing a grant with industry and your patent focused on surface functionalization for infection control are promising beginnings for collaboration between academia and industry. It shows a proactive approach to expanding your impact beyond academic research. Let’s now focus briefly on your teaching approach. Could you describe how you structure your lessons to ensure students gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills effectively?

To I.

I told you that as I I try to make them.

These through some, uh, visual examples, I generally start my classes like I have experience with teaching, uh, studio chemistry classes. So I, I used to, to, uh, bring some models and three-dimensional model to uh.

Explain how that actually molecule is arranged in the space. So I believe that to visualize something to the class, it's more effective than go through directly in theory.

And to embrace them, that is a theoretical things into that small experiment in the laboratory as well as in our daily life things.

So, uh, this is very effective approach. I, I, I, I found that that is very effective approach to make more understand, uh.

Yeah.

I appreciate the thought you've put into making science accessible and engaging for students. Let’s now discuss your ability to communicate complex concepts effectively. How do you ensure that your explanations are clear and structured, especially when addressing interdisciplinary or diverse audiences?

Yeah. So I have the advantage that I'm working in interdisciplinary affairs. Of course I, I know when I.

And, uh, transit from one discipline to another discipline coming from biology and now in bioengineering, in medical implant things is, is that actually it's complicated to understand everything, but yeah, so but this journey, I realized that to explain that complex things into small, small, simple facts.

And then Merzan is the very effective tools to explain, uh, the things.

Your approach of breaking down complexities into simpler components, especially given your interdisciplinary background, shows a keen awareness of audience needs. Finally, can you share how your previous experiences have prepared you to guide students’ interdisciplinary research, especially within this role?

Yeah, sure. Of course I I, I had opportunity to UH, supervise, to mentor my UH lab junior and PhD student and a master UH in the different UH field.

And yeah, it was very good to students comes from the different background. Sometimes they comes from mechanical immunity, sometimes they comes from biology, sometimes they comes from the chemistry. So I believe to mentor them according to their expertise and then bring slowly then into that interdisciplinary thing how that actually chemistry correlate to that field, how the mechanical things corre.

To the reset and the biological things score related to the research and now to make sure that now what is the approach of the others?

To understand the things so it will be very good approach and to make their weekly or time to time presentations from the different field students and.

Repeat that open bank for to ask questions to other students and to share their knowledge. And this is the very good approach to learning as well as to teach.

Your experience mentoring students from varied backgrounds and encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration through structured approaches like presentations and discussions highlights your capability to foster a holistic learning environment. At this stage, I’ve gathered a comprehensive understanding of your skills and experiences. Thank you.

Thank you so much.

You.

Professor, as we begin, I am interested to hear about your approach to teaching foundational courses. Could you share one specific core course in your field that you find especially fulfilling to teach, and what methods you use to make it

Yes, uh.

Correct.

Yeah, so, uh, being a tennis.

Could

I generally interested in teaching chemistry.

H

And biomaterial chemistry.

Thank

And as a biomaterial scientist, I'm very interested in teaching biomaterials characterization of biomaterials spectroscopy things and the microscopy, the advance tools about the microscopy, so.

I love to tease them.

Thank

Professor

Hello.

Good

I I can't hear your question.

My

Thank you so much. Uh, I think, uh, uh, the three minutes is left and I can't hear now it's maybe a technical call. So thank you so much for uh, uh, giving me this opportunity to tell about my research journey and my approach to know about that. Thank you so much for this.

And.

I'm looking forward for face to face interview in the VIP campus and to see that vibrant campus.

Certainly

In person. Thank you so much.

Thank

Tansys letter for the end of the day.

Internet. Yes. I can't hear you. Your voice is not coming up. It's breaking.

I
