Person
Swapan Kumar Ghosh received his Ph.D in 2000 from the Indian Institute of Technology, India. His thesis was based on the synthesis and structure-property relationship of elastomeric ionomers. Following a PostDoc position at the Technical University of Eindhoven, The Netherlands, he joined (2002) as a Research Engineer at ArcelorMittal R& D Industry Gent, Belgium. He managed and coordinated both industrial and governmental (funded) projects in the field of coatings as well as knowledge development on new coatings related ideas for metallic substrates especially for steel. Since May 2008 he has been appointed as the director of Procoat India. In addition, he has edited the books 'Functional Coatings by Polymer Microencapsulation' and 'Self-Healing Materials?, and has published several research papers in international journals and the inventor /co-inventor of several patents in the fields of coatings technology.
