Reference excerpt

Professor Kulamani Parida, also known as K. M. Parida (born 9 May 1952) is an Indian chemical science professor and scientist best known for his work and research, mainly on material chemistry. Parida is amongst World’s Top 2% Scientist 2020 with global rank 109 in Inorganic Chemistry ( Ranking based on C-score) and Rank 1 in the area of photocatalysis in India and 131 rank in the world based on Scopus author profile during 2016-2021. He has won 19 state and national level scientific awards, and authored around 521 research articles, and 10 book chapters. Parida has also more than 38 national scientific patents. Parida has also an outstanding google scholar citation index with citations of more than ~32316, h-index ~98, and i10-index ~444.

Early life and education Born and brought up in Kendrapara district of Odisha, Parida completed his schooling in Jayaram High school of Karilopatna (1969) and bachelor's degree in chemistry from Kendrapara Autonomous College. After completion of master's degree from Berhempur University, Parida joined as Research scholar in Regional Research Laboratory. During this period Parida married his colleague Ms. Renubala Parida.

Scientific career In his early research career, Parida has served as materials chemistry scientist in various departments of Institute of Minerals and Materials Technology Bhubaneswar (Previously known as Regional Research Laboratory, Bhubaneswar), Where he retired as Chief Scientist on 31.05.2014. Currently Parida is serving as Professor in chemistry and Director of Centre for Nano Science and Nano Technology department of Siksha 'O' Anusandhan University, Bhubaneswar. Parida also has served as active board member of scientific journals like “The Open Catalysis Journal” and “Bulletin of the Catalysis Society of India”.

Scientific contribution Parida has made significant scientific input towards discovery of the chemistry related to physicochemical, opto-electronic and photoelectrochemical properties of semiconducting materials for efficient visible photon induced water redox reaction, pollutant abatement and fine chemical synthesis. His research towards architectural development of advance systems with remarkable charge separation, photocurrent and conversion efficiency is exceptional.

Awards and honours Parida has received scientific awards and honours including

MRSI Annual Prizes award (2022), Prof. S. K. Bhattacharyya Endoment Eminent Scientist Award (2017), Dai-Ichi Karkaria Endowment Fellowship (2014), MRSI Medal (2013), Certificate of Excellence by IMMT (2010), Ukieri Research Award (2009), SGAT Award of Excellence (2007), Metallurgist of the Year Award (2004), Nilamani Devi-Bishwanath Das Award (2003), Samanta Chandra Sekhar Award (2001), Prof. Dayanidhi Pattnaik Award (1998), Ferroguard Award (1985–86). Parida also received an award, the Biju Patnaik Award for Scientific Excellence (2008) from Odisha Bigyan Academy and received a Senior DAAD Fellowship (1999), INSA Fellowship (2000 & 2010) and Royal Society Fellowship (2004 and 2008).

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Kulamani Parida

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Kulamani Parida claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Kulamani Parida before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Kulamani Parida ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Kulamani Parida

In research: Kulamani Parida appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Kulamani Parida in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Kulamani Parida is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1952 births, Berhampur University, Indian scientists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Kulamani Parida outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
