Pradeep K F Rohatgi is a Professor of Materials Engineering and Director of the Center for Composites at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, USA. He is pioneer in the field of composite materials, particularly metal matrix composites. He has coauthored 12 books and over 400 scientific papers. He has 20 US patents and has received numerous awards for excellence in research. He has received numerous awards for excellence in research and has been elected to fellowships of several organizations including TMS, ASM, ASME, SAE, TWAS, SME, AAAS, MRS. His initial research on cast metal composites has been listed as a major landmark in the 11000 year history of metal casting and TMS has organized an honorary symposium to honor his contribution to metal matrix composites. Recently, he has extended his work to make matrix nano composites, syntactic foams, self-lubricating and self-healing metal matrix composite castings.
