Jayant Joshi received his B.Tech degree in Materials and Metallurgical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, India in 2001. During his undergraduate work at IIT Kanpur, he worked in the area of ferro-electric thin films for memory applications. He was also a part of the research team of Tata Research Design and Development Corporation of India, working on microstructure improvement during solidification of metal alloys. Currently, he is working towards his Ph.D. in Ceramics and Materials Engineering at Rutgers University. His research aims to identify and characterize immiscible polymer blend systems that show a unique improvement in mechanical properties at compositions unique to the polymers. His areas of interest include crystallinity development in polymers, flexural and tensile performance of composites, and modeling of composites based on morphology and properties.
