He has guided many Ph.D., and Masters theses. Further, the technology developed in his group was successfully applied at Biocon industries, and has been featured in prestigious technology alerts such as the one by Frost and Sullivan. He is also the inventor on 3 (granted) + 3 (under process) patents. The research contributions have been better disseminated through publications in reputed international journals– the complete list of publications is available as a link from his Department webpage, ). Earlier, his research group had made significant, original contributions in the area of reactive species applied to improve bioreactor productivities and bio-oil which were financially supported through many sponsored research grants. His major area of research is reactive species – currently, the relevance of them in cancer and nanoparticle toxicity. He has also created other short videos on biochemical engineering principles. Earlier, he created a 40-lecture NPTEL video course on Classical Thermodynamics for Biological Systems. Recently, he created two 10-h MOOCs on Bioreactors, and Biology for Engineers and other Non-biologists as NPTEL online certification (NOC) courses. He is the author of a book, Continuum Analysis of Biological Systems: Conserved Quantities, Fluxes, and Forces, which was published world-wide by Springer Publishing in March 2014 the foreword has been written by the reputed author of the famous textbook, Transport Phenomena, Professor R. He is passionate about improving student learning and has published papers in reputed international journals on the methods that he had developed for the same. He also did his Masters work at the University of Cincinnati, USA, between 19. in Chemical Engineering from IITM in 1986. from Drexel University, Philadelphia, USA in 1993, and his B.Tech.

Advanced topics covered include transport in the kidney, oxygen transport, receptor-mediated processes, cell adhesion, transport of drugs in tumors, and whole body pharmacokinetic models. This book can be used for both introductory and advanced courses. The problems at the end of each chapter require either analytical solution or numerical solution using MATLAB. An appendix provides an overview of relevant mathematical concepts used in the text. The introductory chapter presents a brief overview of transport processes at the cell and tissue level and relevant concepts in cell biology and physiology are presented throughout the text. Examples and problems elaborate on the concepts in the text or develop new concepts. In order to provide students with a firm understanding of biological transport processes, engineering concepts are provided within the context of specific biological problems. The book consists of four sections, which cover physiological fluid mechanics, mass transport, biochemical interactions and reactions and the effect of mass transfer, and transport in organs and whole organisms. Transport Phenomena in Biological Systems provides an introduction to the integrated study of transport processes and their biological applications. The efficient transport of molecules is essential for the normal function of cells and organs and the design of devices for medical applications and biotechnology.
