Ashokraja Chandrasekar

Ashokraja Chandrasekar serves as a Researcher in the Department of Coating Processes at Alexander Dubček University of Trenčín, Slovakia, within the Joint Glass Centre (Vitrum Laugaricio – VILA). His work is integral to the FunGlass Centre for Functional and Surface Functionalized Glass, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 program.

His research focuses on biomedical applications of advanced materials, particularly sol-gel coatings, surface modification of metals, and bioactive glasses. Key areas include:

• Development of reduced graphene oxide-bioactive glass nanocomposites
• Electrophoretic deposition techniques for biomedical implants
• Antimicrobial properties of silver nanoparticles
• Nanomaterial synthesis for dentistry and orthopedic applications

His publication trends reveal a strong emphasis on biocompatible coatings for metallic implants (2014-2022), with recent work advancing hybrid materials for enhanced osseointegration and infection resistance.

Key scientific recognition includes:

• CSIR-Research Associate fellowship (2020)
• CSIR-Senior Research Fellowship (2018)
• UGC DAE CSR Project Assistant role (2014)

He actively contributes to the Slovak Silicate Society (since 2022) and previously held NACE Student Membership (2015-2018). His collaborative network spans international partners including Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, and Università degli Studi di Padova through Horizon 2020 projects.
