Sanjay Mathur (born 1968) is an Indian inorganic chemist, current president (Oct. 2022 - Oct. 2023) of the American Ceramic Society [1], acting director of the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Cologne[2], honorary co-director of the Institute of Renewable Energy Sources at the Xi'an Jiaotong University[3], a World Class University Professor at the Chonbuk University[3]. He is an adjunct professor at the Indian Institutes of Technology[4] Chennai and has held visiting professorships at the Central South University[5], the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology[5], the National Institute of Science Education and Research[5]. He was awarded the Honorary Doctorate of the Vilnius University in 2016[4]. He is an elected fellow of the American Ceramic Society[6], the American Society for Metals[7], the European Science Academy[8] and the Indian National Science Academy[9] has been awarded with the fellowships of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation[10]. Mathur is known for his library of sigle source precursors for the production of nanostructured ceramic materials with tailormade properties[11] and, with a h-index of 70 and over 18000 citations[12], he is among the highly cited scientists in the field of ceramics.

Biography

In 1994 he moved to Germany, joined the Saarland University as an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow[10] (1994-1996). Following this, he worked for his habilitation (2004)[13] and became the head of the Physical and chemical vapour deposition division at the Institute of New Materials (2002-2008) in Saarbrücken.[citation needed] He accepted an offer of the Würzburg University in 2006 to become a Professor of Inorganic Chemistry and established a research programm on the synthesis of nanomaterials and thin film systems by means of chemical vapour deposition using chemically tailored organometallic precursors[14]. In 2008, he was offered a full professorship in Inorganic and Materials Chemistry at the University of Cologne which he accepted [13]. He established the Steinbeis technology-transfer center Materials Alliance Cologne[15], which supports small- and medium-sized enterprises to innovate their technology portfolio.

Mathur serves as Board member for the German Ceramic Society[16] and the federation of chemical industries ChemCologne in Rhineland[17]. Mathur has mentored a number of doctoral and postdoctoral researchers from a large number of nations. He has also served as the “International Ambassador” of the University of Cologne to foster international collaboration[3]. He has received calls as the director of the Institute for Functional Materials in KTH Royal Institute of Technology (2013)[18] and director of Institute for Technologies of Ceramic Components and Composites at the Stuttgart University (2020)[19].

Researches

Mathur has developed advanced technical expertise and insight in the development of chemical concepts for synthesis and processing of nanostructured ceramics and composites for energy and health applications. He has made pioneering contributions in demonstrating the potential of chemical processing of materials by transforming specially designed chemical precursors into nanocrystalline ceramics and composites. His group has developed new concepts for processing metal oxide nanoparticles, nanowires and nanostructured coatings for applications targeting bio-medical (drug delivery, implant integration), sensors (gas and humidity), protective (barrier and corrosion-resistant coatings) and functional surfaces (TCOs, photo-catalytic, hydrophobic/hydrophilic). He has coordinated many joint research projects with European Consortia and industry and he has been actively involved in technology transfer and industrial collaboration in the field of sensors, electrodes, filters, catalytic supports, and battery applications [3] [13].

In his years of applied research, Mathur has developed advanced technical expertise and insight in the development of chemical concepts for synthesis and processing of nanostructured ceramics and composites for energy and health applications. He has made notable contributions in demonstrating the potential of chemical processing of ceramic materials by transforming specially designed chemical precursors into nanocrystalline ceramics and composites[3][13].

Academics

Mathur (h-index 70) has published over 500 articles including 15 reviews and book chapters, which have been cited over 18,000 times[12][4]. He has been invited to speak at over 200 international conferences, has given over 250 seminars in 35 countries and has chaired/co-chaired several international conferences and symposia[4]. He has edited 11 book in the field of nanomaterials science and engineering and is the co-owner of 11 patents originated in joint research projects and industrial collaboration[4]. Mathur has led many joint research projects with industry and has been actively involved with technology transfer and industrial collaborations. He serves as the Faculty Advisor for the International Chapters of the Materials Research Society, jointly recognized by the European Materials Research Society (E-MRS) as well as the American Ceramic Society International Germany Chapter established at the University of Cologne[20].
