He obtained his PhD, MPhil and MSc degreases from School of Chemical Sciences, Mahatma Gandhi University, Kerala, India. His research interests include: polymer nanocomposites, bio-nanocomposites, rubber-based nanocomposites, fire retardant polymers, and liquid crystalline polymers and silicon sensors
Sigrid LÃFTL, PhD, worked for more than 13 years at the Vienna University of Technology as a research associate. She was in charge of failure analyses and degradation studies of polymers. Further, she gave courses in specialty polymers and biocompatible materials. In 2016 she founded her own company IWILL. Currently, based on the experience gathered during her work at the university she teaches students for instance how to deal with learning difficulties or how to write a scientific thesis. Moreover, she is the author and co-author of several scientific publications and editor of two books.
