About the Authors
Anup K. Ghosh
Distinguished and Renowned Professor in the field of Polymer Science
and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi), India, and
Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences, India
Ghosh obtained his PhD in Chemical Engineering from the State University of New York (SUNY), Buffalo, USA. He joined the IIT Delhi Faculty in
1991. Professor Ghosh’s research interest includes rheology and the processing of polymers, reactive extrusion, polymer blending and alloying,
polymer nanocomposites, cellular polymers/biopolymers, mixing polymers, and polymer reaction engineering. He has authored more than 200
journal and conference papers and edited two books, and is a co-inventor
of nine patents. He is a recipient of the Young Alumnus Award of Chemical
Engineering Department from Calcutta University, and the Meritorious
Service Award from the Indian Plastics Institute, India. Professor Ghosh is a
Member of many prestigious committees and boards, including the Editorial Boards of Journal of Plastic Film & Sheeting and Associate and the Editor
of the Journal of Packaging Technology and Research. He is the founding
member of the Polymer Processing Academy. He has been elected as the
international representative of the Polymer Processing Society, USA, and
is a Fellow of the Indian Plastics Institute.
Mayank Dwivedi
Senior Scientist and Director of the Directorate of Industry Interface &
Technology Management (DIITM) in the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), India
Dr. Dwivedi completed his Masters of Engineering (ME) in Polymer
Technology from the Delhi College of Engineering and Doctorate in
Advanced Composites from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT
Delhi), India. He is an alumnus of the prestigious National Defence College
(NC), India. He is member of many professional societies in the area of
polymer engineering and allied fields. He is recipient of ‘Lab Scientist of
the Year’ award in 2003 and ‘Agni’ Award for Excellence in Self Reliance in
2018. He has been working in the area of processing of advanced composites for more than 30 years, and his work includes the development of
airframes, high- temperature composites, polymeric nanocomposites, and
biomechanical devices. He has a number of international publications,
patents, and conference papers to his credit. He has authored two books
and edited numerous chapters in the area of advanced composites and
