Dr S. Suresh, is one of the earliest pioneers in developing hybrid Nanofluids and energy storage systems. High-citation research papers on nanofluids have driven the establishment and development of the Nanotechnology Research Laboratory at the National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli. Being an investigator, successfully completed several projects funded by different agencies such as ISRO, DST, SERB, SERI, DST UKIERI, BHEL and CSIR. Have won several awards from the institute for the number of sponsored projects, publications and citations in the institute. With research publications of more than 150 research papers in peer-reviewed journals. At present, leading a large team of scholars working in phase change materials and thermal energy storage systems.
