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 Bachelors degree in Chemistry from Kendapara Autonomous College. After completion of Masters degree from Berhempur University, Parida joined as Research scholar in Regional Research Laboratory. During this period Parida got married to 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.[9][10][11] 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.[12][13][14][15][16] Parida also has served as active board member of scientific journals like “The Open Catalysis Journal” and “Bulletin of the Catalysis Society of India”.[10]

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.[4][17][18]
