Symmetrical Derivative of Anthrone as a Novel Receptor for Mercury Ions: Enhanced Performance of Modified Screen-Printed Electrode

Professor Susheel Mittal CChem FRSC did PhD in chemistry from Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, India, in 1986 and served there for 3 years. He joined Thapar University in 1989 as a lecturer and is now serving as Senior Professor in Chemistry with more than 31 years of teaching experience. An accomplished teacher, scientist, and administrator par excellence is a well-known academician in the region. His present areas of research are nano-modified voltammetric and potentiometric chemical sensors for pesticides and heavy metal ions. Development of disposable biosensors and ion-sensitive field-effect transistors as chemical sensors are other fields of interest. He has worked extensively on particulate pollution in the ambient air during crop residue burning to study its effects on Human health. Recently, he has developed prediction model for surface level ozone in the ambient air. He has published more than 125 research papers in international and national journals of high impact factors.
