Dr. T. Syeda Jeelani Basri | Industrial Chemistry | Women Researcher Award

Associate Professor | G. Pullaiah College of Engineering & Technology | India

Dr. Syeda Jeelani Basri, M.Sc., Ph.D., is a highly accomplished chemist and academician with over 15 years of teaching and research experience in chemistry, nanoscience, and pharmaceutical sciences. She obtained her Ph.D. in Chemistry from Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, India, focusing on the phytochemical and spectral analysis of medicinal herbs, under the guidance of Prof. G. V. Subba Reddy. Her research integrates organic, inorganic, material, and pharmaceutical chemistry, with a particular emphasis on green chemistry, nanotechnology, and natural product synthesis. Dr. Basri has made notable contributions in phytochemical extraction, characterization, and the synthesis of bioactive compounds using eco-friendly methodologies. Her scientific work is reflected in 21 research publications, including SCI, Scopus, IEEE, and UGC Care-listed journals, alongside two granted patents in green process chemistry and polyphenol enhancement in edible products. Her recent Scopus-indexed works highlight the green synthesis of gold nanoparticles, the development of CuMn₂O₄/MnO₂/MWCNT nanohybrids for supercapacitors, and AI-based pharmaceutical design demonstrating her interdisciplinary expertise bridging chemistry, artificial intelligence, and environmental applications. In addition, her IEEE publication on machine learning for friction and wear analysis underscores her engagement in computational materials science. Dr. Basri has authored three books, presented at international and national conferences, and has been actively involved in institutional leadership roles such as NAAC Criterion 3 In-charge, IQAC member, and R&D coordinator. A lifetime member of the Indian Society for Radiation and Photochemical Sciences, she also serves on the editorial board of the Glacier Journal of Scientific Research. Recognized with the prestigious Adarsh Vidya Saraswati Rashtriya Puraskar, Dr. Basri continues to advance sustainable innovations in green chemistry, phytopharmaceuticals, and nanomaterials, combining analytical precision with a passion for environmentally responsible scientific progress.
