Biography
Animesh Jha is Professor of Applied Materials Science with special research interest in glass based and nano-scale materials, photonic materials, laser gain medium
engineering and laser-matter interaction. He obtained his Bachelor and Master of Engineering Degrees in Metallurgy from the University of Roorkee (UP, India) and the
Indian Institute of Science Bangalore (India) in 1979 and 1981, respectively. In 1981, he joined the Imperial College of Science & Technology, London for his PhD
in thermodynamics of sulphide minerals for metal processing, and acquired significant interest in heterogeneous chemical reaction kinetics and multiphase equilibria.
After finishing PhD in Oct 1984, he pursued his interest in the area of phase equilibrium and transformation kinetics in metallic and inorganic glasses as a post-doctoral
research fellow at the University of Sheffield (UK) until April 1989, after which he was appointed as a lecturer at Brunel University in Uxbridge (UK). In March 1996 he
joined the University of Leeds (Leeds, UK) as a Reader where he has been undertaking original research in nanoscience approaches for bio-materials, glass engineering
and 2D-materials technology for device engineering. AJ became Professor in Aug 2000. He is author of more than 400 research papers and has also written a book on
“Inorganic Glasses for Photonics” which was published in 2016. He is also inventor/co-inventor on more than 45 patents. AJ was awarded the Fellowships of Institute of
Physics (London) and the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2010 and 2016, respectively. He has also won innovation awards (SMART, Yorkshire Concept) for technological
demonstration of advanced glasses and fibres for lasers and amplifiers, and their applications. He is actively involved in PhD and PDRF training and promotes emerging
scientists in achieving career goals via Marie-Curie and other prestigious Fellowship schemes.
