Biography
Ankur Shah received his Bachelors of Engineering in Chemical Engineering from BMS College of Engineering (VTU), Bangalore in 2007 followed by a Master of Engineering in Chemical Engineering from City College - City University of New York, USA in 2009. For his Master's thesis at CCNY, he has successfully developed a new manufacturing route to process sub-micron polyamide particles. Following Graduation, Ankur continued his work at CCNY's industrial partner to further design and perform scale up the above said process. Ankur had a short sting with Fujifilm Hunt Chemicals before moving to India and taking up a position of research associate in the Department of Materials Engineering at the prestigious Indian Institute of Science. At IISc he was investigating the effect of polymeric Core-shell architecture on the toughening characteristic of epoxy based polymeric matrix composites. In Jan,2014, he has joined the lab of Prof.Steele as a Doctoral candidate
