Dr. Pramod Koshy, Academic Mentor, Science

Dr. Pramod Koshy, Academic Mentor, Science

Dr Pramod Koshy is a Senior Research Fellow at the School of Materials Science and Engineering and has taught in the school since 2011 in a voluntary capacity (since researchers are not required to teach). Dr Koshy currently teaches two undergraduate and one postgraduate course (~100 h p.a.). He employs a personalised integrated teaching approach which is structured to facilitate high-levels of interactions and student inclusivity while linking classroom concepts and laboratory activities with practical industrial scenarios. 

The success of Dr Koshy's learning and teaching techniques is evident from his good teaching scores, which are generally the highest in the School with very positive student feedback and a high number of students wishing to work with him. Dr Koshy has over time received the Faculty of Science Award for Teaching Excellence (2014), the Vice Chancellor’s Award for Teaching Excellence – Early Career (2015), Australian Citation Award (2017), and the Vice Chancellor’s Award for Teaching Excellence (2019). He is the only research staff to win all four awards at UNSW.  

Dr Koshy's background in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science has allowed him to establish multifarious research interests and partnerships in developing materials for energy, environment, and biomedical applications. In his research group, he supervises ~35 personnel including researchers, postgraduates, undergraduates, and research assistants.  In spite of the relentless long-term struggle to fund his own position, he has obtained funding from the ARC, ACARP, and leading Australian and international organisations which has helped to strengthen and diversify our research credentials and capabilities.
