Senior Lecturer / Chief Editor / Scientist
HELLO,
Warm Greetings
I'm Dr. Kavirajaa from Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Negeri Sembilan. Currently serving as a senior lecturer, scientist, and chief editor for the journal of UiTM Negeri Sembilan.
I joined UiTM in December 2015, and ever since then, I have been 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 4 Ph.D., 4 M.Sc. students, and 1 F.Y.P. student. My current research interest includes conducting polymer-based electrochemical sensors for environmental monitoring that include PFAs, Bisphenols, Pharmaceutical compounds, etc.
