Summary
Dr. Ashutosh Goel received his B.S. (Hons.) Physics and M.S. (Hons.) in Physics from Guru Nanak Dev University, India. He received his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Aveiro, Portugal, in 2009. He joined the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Rutgers University as a faculty member in 2014.
Before joining Rutgers, Dr. Goel worked as a Materials Scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Richland, WA, and as a Senior Research Scientist – Optical Fibers at Sterlite Technologies Ltd., Aurangabad, India.
Dr. Goel’s research is focused on understanding composition-structure-property relationships in oxide glasses. He has authored/co-authored >85 research articles published in international journals and listed as an inventor on two U.S. patents. He is the Associate Editor for the “Journal of the American Ceramic Society,” “International Journal of Applied Glass Science,” and “Frontiers in Materials (Nature Publishing Group).” He also serves on the editorial board of the journals “Ceramics” and “Materials” – both published by MDPI.
Dr. Goel is the chairperson of the technical committee on hazardous waste vitrification (TC-05) and a member of the technical committee on glasses in healthcare (TC-04) of the International Commission on Glass. He also serves as the vice-chairperson of the Bioceramics Division of the American Ceramic Society. Owing to his outstanding accomplishments in the field of glass science, Dr. Goel has been awarded the 2017 Vittorio Gottardi Prize by the International Commission on Glass, and 2021 W.H. Zachariasen Award by the Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids.
