General Information
  • Dr. Ajay Bose, a professor at Stevens Institute of Technology since 1959, was the winner of the 1999 "Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring" and the Dreyfus Award of the American Chemical Society for "encouraging disadvantaged students into careers in chemical sciences." He has been the recipient of many teaching and research awards including the 1997 Catalyst Award for chemistry teachers and the Ranbaxy Foundation Award for excellence in research in the field of pharmaceutical sciences.
  • Dr. Bose is internationally known for his research on antibiotics, natural products, and microwave assisted chemistry. He has mentored 35 doctoral students and more than 90 post-doctorals and visiting scientists from many parts of the world. He has coauthored 300 research publications, two books and seven patents. According to the Citation Index, his papers on microwave assisted chemistry have been cited more than 500 times.
  • In 1972 Prof. Bose founded UPTAM (Undergraduate Projects in Technology and Medicine) – a unique research program which he has directed for 32 years now. UPTAM and its pre-college version have enriched the career opportunities for several hundred talented undergraduates and high school students. In recent years much of UPTAM research has involved microwave chemistry.
