After completing his Masters from C M S College, Kottayam, Santhosh started his research career as a Project Associate at Materials Research Centre, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and later became a Research Scholar at the Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras in the area of low temperature Physics. In 1995 he took lectureship at St. Xaviers College, Vaikom and later on in 1996 moved on to the Department of Physics, Baselios Poulose II Catholicos College, Piravom. He completed his doctoral work in theoretical low temperature Physics from the School of Pure and Applied Physics, Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam in 2010. He has published his research works in reputed international journals of Institute of Physics, IEEE and Advanced Materials Research. He was awarded Junior Research Fellowship of CSIR, Govt. of India in 1992 and Teacher Fellowship under Faculty Improvement Programme of the UGC, Government of India in 2006. He is also the recipient of “Best Paper Award”  in the ‘International Conference on Shape Memory Alloys’ organized by TCE, Madurai in 2009. He was awarded ‘Topper’ for the SWAYAM-NPTEL online course “Developing Soft Skills” conducted by IIT, Kanpur in 2018. He is President, Physics Alumni Association, CMS College, Kottayam and member of Governing Council, U C College, Aluva and Yeldo Mor Baseliose College, Kothamangalam. He was the General Secretary, Academy of Physics Teachers, Kerala.  Santhosh is presently serving as Associate Professor of Physics at Baselios Poulose II  Catholicos College, Piravom.
