Biography

Dr. Anil Kumar Pabby is presently serving with one of the pioneer research centre of India, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) near MUMBAI as Senior Scientific Officer (Senior Scientist) and associated with Department of Atomic Energy activities including research and development work under DAE programme. He did his Ph.D. from University of Mumbai, India and subsequently carried out his postdoctoral work at Technical university of Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain. Dr. Pabby has more than 170 publications to his credit including 20 chapters and two patent on non-dispersive membrane technology. He was invited to join as an associate editor of International journal ‘Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry’ during 2002-2005. He has also served as consultant to IAEA, Vienna, Austria for developing technical book volume on “Application of membrane technologies for liquid radioactive waste processing”. Dr. Pabby has taken a leading role in publishing “Handbook of membrane separation: Chemical, pharmaceutical, food and biotechnological applications’ in July 2008 by CRC Press, New York, USA. The second edition of this book is in progress and will be in Market in mid of 2015. Dr. Pabby has been a regular reviewer for several national and international journals and also serving in editorial board of few reputed international journals (Sep. Purif. Reviews, Desalination and water treatment, Membrane technology, Advanced membrane science and technology and Journal of Membrane Science and Research (open access) and so on). His research interest includes membrane based solvent extraction, pressure driven membrane processes, non-dispersive membrane technology and its modeling aspects, , macrocyclic compounds etc. Dr Pabby has been elected as a Fellow of the Maharashtra Academy of Sciences (FMASc) in 2003 for his outstanding contribution in membrane science and technology. Also, he has been awarded with prestigious Tarun Datta Memorial award (instituted by Indian Association Nuclear Chemist and Allied Scientist ) for his contribution in Nuclear and Radiochemistry for the year 2005. Dr. Pabby also received three different awards for developing advance sampling system and other contributions in reprocessing plant instituted by Dept. of Atomic Energy for his significant contribution. He is appointed as Assistant Professor and Ph.D. guide, Homi Bhabha National Institute, Mumbai. He is serving as Secretary, Indian Association Nuclear Chemist and Allied Scientist, Tarapur chapter since 2008. He has delivered several keynote/plenary/invited talk in national and international conferences. He has also served as chairman of the different sessions in conference in India and abroad .
