Dr Kavirajaa Pandian Sambasevam
Senior Lecturer / Chief Editor / Scientist
HELLO,
Warm Greetings
I'm Dr Kavirajaa from UiTM Cawangan Negeri Sembilan. Currently serving as senior lecturer, scientist and chief editor for UiTM Negeri Sembilan's journal.
I joined UiTM in December 2015 and ever since that, teaching courses like Polymer Chemistry, Physical Chemistry and Spectrochemical Methods of Analysis.
My most prominent administrative duty is the Chief Editor for Journal of Academia, UiTM Negeri Sembilan. Besides that, I'm serving as the head of Material and Sensor (EMaS) Group (Research Interest Group) at UiTM Shah Alam and Advanced Materials for Environmental Research (AMER) (Special Interest Group) at UiTM Negeri Sembilan.
Currently, I'm supervising 1 Ph.D, 4 M.Sc. students and 2 F.Y.P. students. My research interest from conducting polymers sensor has transformed into sustainable waste management.
