Dr. Mayankkumar Chaudhary earned his Ph.D. in Materials Science from Sankalchand Patel University, India, in 2023, focusing on cracking catalysts. He holds a B.Sc. in Chemistry from Hemchandracharya North Gujarat University, an M.Sc. in Organic Chemistry from Kadi Sarva Vishwavidyalaya (India), and an M.S. in Polymer Chemistry from Pittsburg State University (USA). He is currently a Research Scientist at the National Institute for Materials Advancement, where he develops bio-based polymer materials for adhesives, coatings, and sustainable applications. His research also involves the synthesis of catalysts and electrochemical materials. Dr. Chaudhary has published over 21 papers in high-impact journals, authored more than 20 book chapters, and completed two books, including a self-authored and edited ACS volume on non-isocyanate polyurethanes (NIPU). He received the SHODH Award from the Government of Gujarat, India, for research excellence. During his doctoral work, he supervised 70 graduate students and guided 17 M.Sc. students in polymer chemistry. His research interests include bio-based polyurethanes, non-isocyanate polymers, and catalyst design for energy applications to advance sustainable materials that minimize environmental impact.
