A Brif Introduction
Prof S K Srivastava obtained his M Sc and Ph D degree from I.I.T. Kanpur, and has joined Chemistry Department, Manipur University, in 1983. He has been serving here as Professor since 1995. His field of specialization is Physical Chemistry, and the research areas include: Nanomaterials, Surfactants and applications, Catalysis in Micellar/Microemulsion media. He has done his post-doctoral research work at the University of Bristol, U.K. He has served as Head of the Department (Chemistry) in Manipur University, for two terms (1999-2001 and 2003-2005). He is a recipient of Commonwealth Academic Staff Fellowship.

Prof Srivastava is Member of the first Academic Council of newly established Central University of Jharkhand, Ranchi (for three years term, 2009-2012). He is also a Member of the first Academic Council of Central University of Bihar, Patna (for three years term, 2009-2012). He has been associated with the Working Group on Nanotechnology, CUJ, Ranchi, and also with the UGC Expert Committee. In the International Conference on Nano Science and Technology (ICONSAT 2010), held at IIT, Mumbai during 17-20 Feb., 2010, Prof Srivastava has been on the Panel of Judges.
