Prof. Dr. Yogendra Kumar Mishra is a Professor MSO and Leader of the Smart Materials group at Mads Clausen Institute, University of Southern Denmark (SDU), Sønderborg, Denmark. Prior to SDU, he was leading an independent research group on 3D Nanomaterials at Functional Nanomaterials Chair, Kiel University, where he introduced the new flame-based technology for tetrapod nanostructuring, including their 3D highly porous networks as flexible ceramics. These networks can be used as sacrificial templates to create hybrid and new 3D architectured materials. At SDU, NanoSYD, the Smart Materials group’s main focus is to develop a new class of ‘Functional Materials for Advanced and Sustainable Technologies’.
He is an Editorial Board Member and referee for many prestigious magazines. He has received many notable awards, like, Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship (2008), Young Investigator Award (under 40) from BHJ Fonden-Denmark and has won several successful grants. Prof. Mishra is very well known worldwide for his research activities on 'Functional Tetrapod-based Nanology'.
