Yogesh Moreshwar Joshi (born 1974) is an Indian chemical engineer, rheologist and the C . V. Seshadri Chair professor at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur. He is known for his studies on metastable soft matter[1] and is an elected fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering.[2] The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, the apex agency of the Government of India for scientific research, awarded him the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology, one of the highest Indian science awards for his contributions to Engineering Sciences in 2015.[3]

Biography

Yogesh Joshi, born on 29th December 1974 in Ahmednagar, in the Indian state of Maharashtra. He did his graduate studies in polymer engineering at Maharashtra Institute of Technology, Pune to earn his BE degree from the University of Pune in 1996 and started his career as a project assistant at National Chemical Laboratory the same year.[4] After a year of service, he enrolled for doctoral studies at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, while doing his researches at NCL as a research fellow. Securing a PhD in 2001, he moved to the US where he did his postdoctoral studies at Benjamin Levich Institute during 2001–04. On his return to India in 2004, he joined the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur as an assistant professor and became an associate professor in 2009. He continues his service at IIT Kanpur and serves as a professor at the department of chemical engineering[5] holding the C . V. Seshadri Chair at the department.[6] During his service at IIT Kanpur, he held two fellowships, the Faculty Research Fellowship during 2009–12 and the P. K. Kelkar Faculty Research Fellowship from 2013 to 2016. He also served as a visiting professor at University of Maine in 2008, at University of Edinburgh in 2010, Institute of Electronic Structure and Lasers (IESL), Greece in May 2015 and at the Institute of Chemical Technology in June 2015 as Shri V. V. Mariwala Visiting Professor.[7]

Research

Joshi's researches have covered the fields of structure and dynamics of colloidal glasses and gels, Soft Matter, Rheology of complex fluids and polymer nanocomposites and his team at IIT Kanpur is engaged in multidisciplinary research on molecular phenomena that is responsible for the flow behavior, specifically the rheological behavior of discotic nematic suspensions.[6] His work has assisted in widening the understanding of the processing of soft matter and in the prediction of its shelf life.[1] He is reported to have elucidated the concept of time – temperature – stress equivalence for soft glassy materials for the first time and has developed a non-equilibrium thermodynamics theory for predicting the approach of soft glassy material to equilibrium.[8] [9] He is the treasurer of the Indian Society of Rheology[10] and the invited or keynote speeches delivered by him include the 2008 Soft Materials Seminar organized by Laboratoire de physique des solides[11] and the 18th Mid-Year Meeting conducted by the Indian Academy of Sciences in 2007.[12]

Awards and honors

Joshi, a Young Associate of the Indian Academy of Sciences during 2006–09,[13] was selected for the BRNS Young Scientist Research Award of the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) in 2006; he would receive another DAE honor in 2012 in the form of SRC Outstanding Investigator Award.[7] He received the Young Scientits Medal of the Indian National Science Academy in 2006 [14] and the Indian National Academy of Engineering chose him for the Young Engineer Award in 2008. In between, the Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers awarded him the first of their two awards, the Diamond Jubilee Young Achiever Award in 2007. He received another honor from IIChE, the Amar Dye Chem Award, two years later.[15] He received two awards from the National Academy of Sciences, India, NASI Young Scientist Platinum Jubilee Award in 2008[16] and NASI Scopus Young Scientist Award in 2012.[17] The Distinguished Alumnus Award of the Maharashtra Institute of Technology reached him in 2010[7] and the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research awarded him the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize. He received one more award in 2015, the C. N. R. Rao Faculty Award of the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur.[7] He is a life member of the National Academy of Sciences, India[18] and the award orations delivered by him include the 2015 Dr. R. A. Mashelkar Endowment Lecture of National Chemical Laboratory.[7]
