Aravind obtained his PhD in 2007 from the Center for Advanced Materials Technology (CAMT), The University of Sydney, Australia, under the guidance of Professor Yiu-Wing Mai. Upon completion of PhD, Dr Dasari continued to work as a post-doctoral fellow at Sydney Uni before moving to the Madrid Institute of Advanced Studies of Materials (IMDEA Materials Institute) as a Research Scientist in early 2009 to lead the group on Multifunctional Nanocomposites. After a couple of years of exciting stint in Madrid, he joined NTU as an Assistant Professor in mid-2011. He is currently an Associate Professor at NTU.
