Dr. Chandani Mathur

Dr. Chandani Mathur has over 7 years of experience teaching chemistry across undergraduate, postgraduate, and Cambridge AS & A Level curricula, alongside her work in organic materials chemistry. A university gold medallist and CSIR-NET-qualified educator, she aims to help students see how molecular concepts translate into real-world chemical behaviour, while encouraging a sense of curiosity and enjoyment in understanding how chemistry works.

She holds a Ph.D. in Chemistry from IIS (Deemed to be University), Jaipur, where her research explored donor–acceptor complexes derived from N-heterocyclic systems. Integrating experimental and theoretical approaches, her work investigates their potential in organic semiconducting materials and sunlight-assisted dye degradation.

Her research has gained strong academic visibility, with multiple publications in Scopus-indexed international journals and recognition as a 'Top Cited Article (2024)' by Chemistry - A European Journal (Wiley), and, being featured in the Reader’s Choice list for two consecutive years, underscoring the impact, visibility, and continued relevance of her research within the global scientific community. An ICT-trained educator, she has completed multiple NPTEL Faculty Development Programmes and is an active member of the Society of Materials Chemistry (SMC), the Chemical Research Society of India (CRSI), and Vigyan Bharti.

At Vijaybhoomi University, she aims to build a liberal, interdisciplinary learning environment, encouraging students to move beyond memorisation, think critically, draw connections across domains, and engage with chemistry as a way of understanding the world around them.
