Bijina V. P.
Biography

Bijina completed her graduation from School Of Technology And Applied Sciences, MG University, Kottayam. She has done a short term project on activated charcoal incorporated low density polyethylene films for food packaging applications in Defence Food Research Laboratory of DRDO, Mysore. Her current PhD work with Dr. Honey John is focused on the development of green-tyre technology. She also worked as a QA in charge for ASMA gloves Pvt Ltd, Cochin as well as St.Mary’s Rubbers, Kanjirappally. She also backed a diploma in Rubber Technology from IRI. She also had undergone training in Rubber Mixing, Rubber Molding Processes, Latex Dipping Processes and Latex Foam Product Manufacturing, and also received training in Testing and Quality Control of rubber products from Rubber Research Institute of India (RRII). Currently Bijina is currently Senior Research Fellow working in a RUSA funded project in collaboration with Apollo Tyres.
