Dr. Yogesh K. Kadam: A Journey Through Science and Innovation 🔬

Early Academic Pursuits 📚

Dr. Yogesh K. Kadam embarked on his academic journey with a solid foundation in chemistry, earning his B.Sc. from P. T. Science College, V. N. S. G. University, India, with majors in Chemistry (1997-2001). He further honed his expertise by completing his M.Sc. in Physical Chemistry from the same university (2004-2006), where he was awarded two Gold Medals and several cash prizes for his outstanding performance. His early achievements set the stage for his Ph.D. in Chemistry at V. N. S. G. University (2007-2010), where he conducted groundbreaking research on “Block copolymer nanoaggregates in aqueous solutions” under the guidance of Prof. P. Bahadur.

Professional Endeavors and Teaching Contributions 👨‍🏫

Dr. Kadam’s professional career is marked by significant teaching roles and research contributions. He began as a Visiting Lecturer at the Chemistry Department of V. N. S. G. University (2007-2010), where he taught Physical Chemistry to postgraduate students. His teaching journey continued at the Applied Chemistry Department of S.V.N.I.T., Surat, as a Lecturer (AUG 2010- FEB 2011) and later as a Teaching Assistant (JAN 2015 – SEP 2018). Since SEP 2018, he has been an Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemistry, Vanita Vishram Women’s University, Athwalines, Surat. His teaching portfolio includes subjects such as Engineering Chemistry for B.Tech students and Physical Chemistry for M.Sc. students.
