Biography
Dr. Ashutosh Goel obtained his Ph.D. in the area of glasses and glass-ceramics from University of Aveiro, Portugal in December 2009. His doctoral work was focused upon high temperature glass/glass-ceramic seals for solid oxide fuel cells. After obtaining his doctoral degree, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher (January 2010 – March 2011) in the research group of Prof. José M.F. Ferreira at University of Aveiro in the field of bioactive glasses and glass-ceramics for bone tissue engineering. During March 2011-April 2012, he worked as a ‘Glass Scientist’ at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, USA in the area of immobilization of high-level and low-activity radioactive wastes in glasses. At present, Dr. Goel is working as a ‘Senior Scientist’ at Sterlite Technologies Ltd., India in the area of optical fibers. He will be joining the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Rutgers-The State University of New Jersey, USA as a faculty member starting from January 1, 2014. Dr. Goel is an author/co-author of 50 research articles in the area of glass science published in various international journals. He also holds 1 patent in the area of bioactive glasses for bone regeneration; reviewer to >20 international journals and has presented his research work in various international conferences in the form of oral/invited talks.
