Sanjay Rastogi is a polymer physicist and professor of polymer technology in the department of materials at Loughborough University, United Kingdom. He also serves as a associate professor in the department of chemical engineering and chemistry at Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands. [1] and visiting scientist at Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (MPIP), Germany. [2]
During late 80s, he was a research associate at University of Bristol in the group of Professor Andrew Keller FRS, a pioneer in the field of polymer physics. Since early 90s, he has been actively involved in the research activity at the Polymer Technology group of Professor Piet Lemstra, the inventor of Dyneema fibers.
Prof. Rastogi was elected a Fellow of the Max Planck Society in 2003. Prof. Rastogi has been awarded innovation awards from Dutch Polymer Institute (DPI) for the years 2003, 2004 and 2005 for his contributions to polymer science.
