Krishna K. Pandey (India; born 7 May 1962) is an Indian wood scientist and retired researcher at the Institute of Wood Science and Technology (IWST) in Bengaluru, who is an elected fellow (FIAWS) and distinguished member of the International Academy of Wood Science.[1][2]
Research career
Pandey holds an MSc and PhD degrees in wood sciences, specializing in the development of durable wood coatings using nanotechnology and UV stabilizers. He has made research contributions upon the wood polymer characterization, surface chemistry and weathering of wood,[3][4][5][6] while his research work has received -until June 2025- over 5,800 international citations at the database of Scopus, having an h-index of 31.[7]
Through his career, Pandey has been elected as a fellow at the International Academy of Wood Science, and also he was the recipient of the National Award for Excellence in Forestry Research (by ICFRE)[8] as well as an elected member at the Environmental Effects Assessment Panel of UNEP.[9][10]
In October 2023, a meta-research carried out by John Ioannidis et al. at Stanford University included Krishna K. Pandey in Elsevier Data 2022,[11] where he was ranked in the top 2% of researchers in wood science (forestry – polymers) globally, having a c-score of 3.6588, one of the highest five in this scientific area.[12] In August 2024, Pandey has acquired the same 2% ranking in the wood sciences (Elsevier Data 2023).[13]
