Education
Mohan Thiruvazhi, Ph.D. 1993, mthiruvazhi@gmail.com
Since my graduation in 1993 from Professor Block’s group, I have traversed a diverse professional path starting with postdoc stints at the University of Pittsburgh and Research Triangle Institute (RTI), to chemistry in diagnostics, to heading a chemistry research department and managing global chemistry collaborations, to heading business development for a CRO in India.
In Professor Block’s group, I was exposed to very exciting and rewarding chemistry research leading to more discoveries than I could handle. I thoroughly enjoyed sharing much of my Ph.D. days with all the other group members, and to date cherish those moments. The famous ‘What’s New?’ or its variant ‘Anything New?’ asked by Dr. Block daily or even multiple times in a day still rings in my ears.
Since January 2001, I have lived in beautiful San Diego with my wife Sujitha and kids Meghna (15 years) and Naveen (14 years)[as of January 2013]. Interestingly, my stay in San Diego has been the longest in a city thus far! As part of my business development responsibilities,
Sujitha
SujithaMeghna
Meghna
NaveenI travel to the East Coast quite, often visiting Boston, NY and NJ cities, Philadelphia, and the Research Triangle Park area of NC.
I enjoy reading non-fiction books, am deeply interested in philosophy, love playing volleyball, and ardently follow cricket. I would love to be reconnected with Prof. Block’s past and present students. I can be reached at mthiruvazhi@gmail.com
