Arish Dasan

Dr. Arish Dasan is a Researcher at the Department of Glass Processing, Alexander Dubček University of Trenčín, Slovakia, actively contributing to the Horizon 2020-funded FunGlass project (Centre for Functional and Surface-Functionalized Glasses). His work bridges advanced materials science with practical engineering applications in glass technology.

His educational background includes:

• PhD in Chemistry from Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Tirunelveli, India (2011)
• MSc in Chemistry from Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Tirunelveli, India (2006)
• BSc in Chemistry from Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Tirunelveli, India (2002)

Dr. Dasan's research focuses on additive manufacturing of glasses and ceramics, with expertise spanning polymer derived ceramics, ceramic matrix composites, bioactive materials, and titania-based nanocomposites. His work demonstrates innovative approaches to glass processing that address both fundamental scientific questions and practical applications in sustainability and healthcare.

Analysis of his publication record reveals a consistent trajectory toward advanced manufacturing techniques for glass materials, with increasing emphasis on sustainability through waste glass upcycling and development of novel sensing applications. His work spans materials science, ceramics engineering, and environmental technology with strong international collaboration.

Dr. Dasan's significant recognitions include:

• APJ Abdul Kalam Award for Young Scientist (2015)
• Best presenter award at XXVII International Congress on Glass (2025)
• European Ceramic Society-JECS trust travel grant (2022)
• Horizon 2020 grant for Centre for Functional and Surface-Functionalized Glasses (2017)

He currently supervises two PhD students: Garima Thakur (since 2023) on "Additive Manufacturing of Optically Transparent Glass Structures for Next-Gen Sensing, Optical and Photonic Applications" and Sajana Mohanan (since 2024) on "Innovative approaches to upcycling waste glass with binder jetting 3D printing." His research is supported by multiple international grants including Horizon 2020 projects and collaborations with European institutions.

Dr. Dasan is embedded in a robust international research network through the Joint Glass Centre (Vitrum Laugaricio – VILA), collaborating with Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, and Università degli Studi di Padova. His laboratory work focuses on developing advanced glass processing techniques with applications in sustainable manufacturing and next-generation sensing technologies.
