Sudipta Seal, University of Central Florida

Sudipta Seal, University Distinguished Professor and UCF Pegasus Professor, Distinguished Professor, UCF Trustee Chair, joined the Advanced Materials Processing and Analysis Center (AMPAC) and Mechanical Materials Aerospace Engineering at the University of Central Florida in Fall 1997 after a brief postdoctoral work at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley. During his postdoctoral research, he was instrumental in the development of Scanning transmission X-ray microscopy and spectroscopy and Scanning photoemission spectroscopy for materials science applications. At UCF, he pioneered nanostructured cerium oxide and other metal/oxide platforms (micro to nano) and discovered its antioxidant properties and applied in various biomedical problems and led to various patents in the area of regenerative nanostructures. His group is currently studying the biochemical interfaces of nanostructures and composites using various surface and electrochemical techniques to understand the redox properties responsible for its regenerative properties at nanoscale. He is also involved in plasma based large scale manufacturing of nano-coatings and products for corrosion applications and developing novel nano-energetics materials. He is funded by DOD, NSF, NIH, NIH, NASA, SBIR programs, and numerous industries. H index 120, citation >61,000. 94 issued US and International patents led to licensing and startups. He is a Fellow of more than ten societies including He is a Fellow of ASM, IoN, AAAS, ECS, NAI, AVS, MRS, IIM, AIMBE and others and a recipient of 2002 ONR YIP award and Life time achievement award from SNO. He is inducted into Florida Inventors Hall of Fame, World Academy of Ceramics.
