Author Information

Dr. Varaprasad is an Investigator at the Center for Advanced Polymer Research, Concepcion, Chile. He holds a PhD in Hydrogels for Antibacterial Materials in Polymer Science & Tech. He was the recipient of 3 International Postdoctoral Fellowships in Creighton University USA, Tshwane University of Technology SA and Universidad de Concepcion, Chile. During this period, he developed modern antibiotics and biomaterials. He has published over 98 articles, includin, 2 patents, 20 book chapters, and more than 2480 citations. He is the recipient of 7 research grants (2 projects ranked as 1 and 4th). Member in several Societies. He guided for several students in biomaterials filed. His primary objective is to translate primary nanotechnology research results into improved patient care. Prof. Rotimi Sadiku attained his BSc. [Hons] in 1980 and PhD in 1986 from the University of Strathclyde, UK, where he specialized in Polymer Physics. Following his graduation, he took up a position as a lecturer, at the Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria until September 1989, when he took-up a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship position at the University of Genova/CNR, in Italy (1989-1990). He returned to Nigeria and joined the Federal University of Technology, Minna, as a senior lecturer, in January 1991. In 1997, he spent a year as a Research Fellow at the KTH Institute of Technology, in Stockholm, Sweden. He also had a 3-month research exposure at the Faculty of Physics, at the University of Freiburg, Germany. He then returned to the Federal University of Technology, in Minna. In July 1999, he went to the Stellenbosch University as a Research Fellow, where he spent 2 years, following which, he returned to the Federal University of Technology, in Minna as a senior lecturer in June 2001. After another year at the Federal University of Technology, Minna, he took up a position as a Principal Scientist with Sasol, in Sasolburg, RSA. He spent 1.5 years with Sasol and then took up his current position, as a Research Professor at the Tshwane University of Technology (TUT), in Pretoria in Jan. 2004.
