Dr. Deodatta V. Shenai-Khatkhate is a Scientist in the field of Organometallic chemistry, with specialization in innovative synthesis and purification strategies to ultra-pure organometallic compounds used in microelectronics and nanotechnology. Dr. Shenai-Khatkhate has authored numerous scientific publications that comprise refereed papers, reviews, conference presentations, and international patents. His research and scientific articles encompass a broad range of organometallic compounds of various chemical elements from periodic table, such as aluminum, gallium, indium, zinc, cadmium, phosphorous, arsenic, antimony, bismuth, silicon, germanium, tin, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, titanium, zirconium, hafnium, niobium, vanadium, tantalum, tungsten, molybdenum, ruthenium, copper, nickel, cobalt, silver, iron, manganese, chromium, lanthanum and other lanthanide metals. Some of his latest scientific breakthroughs include improved cylinder designs for stable delivery of solid organometallic compounds in compound semiconductor fabrication; development of safer liquid "Green Chemistry" alternatives to highly toxic gases (such as arsine, phosphine and germane) in semiconductor industry; and development of novel high purity organometallic precursors for semiconductors and High-k Dielectric thin films.

Deodatta Vinayak Shenai-Khatkhate was born in Kankavli, Maharashtra, India. Deodatta studied at Elphinstone College, Institute of Science and UDCT in Mumbai; and graduated with B.Sc.(Hons) in Chemistry & Physics and B.Sc.(Tech) in Technology of Polymers and Paints degrees from Mumbai University, India. Subsequent to this, Deodatta earned his M.Sc. in Polymer Science & Technology and Ph.D. in Polymer Science & Organometallic chemistry degrees from UMIST and University of Manchester, Manchester, UK, resp. Deodatta continued his research, at post-doctoral level, in novel ultra-pure organometallic precursors and their application in semiconductors; in association with Professor David J. Cole-Hamilton and Dr. J. Brian Mullin, at University of Liverpool, England, and University of St. Andrews, Scotland. During his five-year Research scientist tenure, Deodatta contributed significantly to various Compound semiconductor research projects sponsored by Royal Signals and Radar Establishment (RSRE) / UK Ministry of Defence, England. In 1988, Deodatta accepted the offer of R&D Scientist position at Morton Thiokol, Morton International Company, located in Massachusetts, and emigrated to United States of America from the UK across the pond. Deodatta lives in Danvers, Massachusetts, with his wife, Usha, and daughter, Anisha.
