About Me
I was born as the second child of my parents Shri.M.K.Kumaran and Smt. Padmini Kumaran in Vattoli, a village in Calicut District of Kerala State of the Indian Republic, on 20th August 1959. I had my schooling in the village itself. After passing my 10th class from Sanskrit Secondary School,Vattoli, I continued my studies at St.Joseph's College, Devagiri, Govt.College, Madappally,Badagara and St.Thomas College, Trichur. I had a very brilliant academic record and secured scholarships for my studies from 8th class onwards. I took my M.Sc degree in Chemistry in 1981 and soon after joined the Collegiate Education Dept. of Kerala as Lecturer in Chemistry. I had worked at the Govt.College,Pattambi,Palghat, Farook College, Calicut, and Govt.Polytechnic,Kalamassey, Cochin during the period 1981-86.

Then I pursued my doctoral studies on speciation of Heavy metals in an aquatic environment at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi and secured a Ph.D degree in 1991. Later I joined back the Collegiate Education Department, Kerala at the Govt. College, Kasargod. Presently I am working as a Senior Grade Lecturer in the Department of Chemistry of the Govt.Engineering College, Trichur.

I love my students while I enjoy teaching them. My current research interests pertain to polluton problems related to Automobile Exhausts and their control. Dioxins and Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons are also the subjects of my present study.

I believe that I will be truly happy only when I succeed in making very innovative and useful contributions to Science. I am putting all my efforts to attain this goal of my life. I believe in God and I am hopeful that I will succeed in this venture !!!
