Dr. Ramesh S. Chaughule is an Adjunct Professor at Ramnarain Ruia Autonomous College, Mumbai, India. He obtained his Ph.D. from the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) and also holds a degree in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering. He is a Fellow of the Maharashtra Academy of Sciences and serves on its Executive Committee.
Dr. Chaughule has made pioneering contributions to Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and nanotechnology. His early research involved the development of a pulsed NMR spectrometer for in vitro studies of malignant tissues in collaboration with leading medical institutions in Mumbai. He has served as an expert for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and has held visiting scientist positions in the USA, UK, Germany, Japan, Taiwan, and Indonesia.
His research spans nanomedicine, drug delivery, biomaterials, and cancer diagnostics, and more recently extends to plant science, where he focuses on nano-enabled approaches for enhancing crop productivity, seed germination, and stress tolerance. He has authored over 125 research publications and edited 11 international books published by Springer Nature, Taylor & Francis, and American Scientific Publishers. He has supervised 12 Ph.D. scholars and continues to contribute to interdisciplinary research and academic leadership.
