He is also a full professor of polymer science and engineering and the director of the International and Inter University Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology of the same university. He is a fellow of many professional bodies. Professor Thomas has authored or co-authored many papers in international peer-reviewed journals in the area of polymer processing. He has organized several international conferences and has more than 420 publications, 11 books, and two patents to his credit. He has been involved in a number of books both as author and editor. He is a reviewer to many international journals and has received many awards for his excellent work in polymer processing. His h Index is 42. Professor Thomas is listed as the 5th position in the list of Most Productive Researchers in India, in 2008.
"This is a book on simulation and modeling applied to problems connected to carbon nanotubes. The selected mathematical notation is very clear to engineers and physicists. Additionally, the authors give a list of mathematical symbols, and the 37 illustrations in the book are quite instructive. At the end of the book, there is a list of 192 references connected to nearly all aspects of the topic. ... This book is recommended to everyone who wants an introduction to modeling and simulation."
—Dieter Vollath, CEO, NanoConsulting, Stutensee, Germany, from MRS Bulletin, Volume 40, August 2015
