Biography
Dr. habil. Yogendra Kumar Mishra is working as Group Leader at Functional Nanomaterials, Institute for Materials Science in University of Kiel, Germany, After Ph. D. in Sept, 2008 (Condensed Matter Physics - Plasmonics) from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India, he joined Functional Nanomaterials group as a visiting scientist and subsequently continued as Alexander von Humboldt Fellow (Feb. 2009 to Feb. 2011) in the group. Recently in 2015, he finished his Habilitation degree in Materials Science and currently leading a sub-group on 3D Nanomaterials at Functional Nanomaterials. In Kiel, he introduced a new fabrication technique known as 'Flame Transport Synthesis-FTS' which offers versatile nanostructuring of different metal oxides and their three-dimensional (3D) interconnected ceramic nano-networks. His main research focus is the growth of highly porous and mechanically flexible 3D interconnected materials built from ZnO nano- and microtetrapods by FTS approach which could be used as next generation 3D flexible semiconducting ceramic materials for potential technologies or as sacrificial templates for fabrication of new 3D nanomaterials including hybrids. His recent research developments include growth of carbon based ultra-light weight Aerographite material, Aerographite-GaN hybrid 3D networks, ZnO tetrapods network based devices, and SnO2 nanowire based stretchable ceramic materials for sensing, UV detection alongwith several other multifunctional applications. He has published more than 75 papers in high rank magazines. He is referee for more than 100 peer-reviewed magazines and also serves as an Editorial Board Member in Nature-Scientific Reports, as an Academic Editor in PLoS ONE including Advisory Board Members in several international conferences.
