Dr. Sudeepan J has done his Ph.D. on “STUDY OF TRIBOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF SOME THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES” at Jadavpur University, Kolkata, in 2015. He completed his MTech in Plastics Technology at CIPET, Chennai and BE in Mechanical Engineering at Bharathiar University, Coimbatore. His research & teaching at the institute was on polymer processing, die and mold design and polymer composites from 2009 onwards. Based on the Ph.D. and teaching experiences, his work is focused on the development of polymer composites for the mechanical and tribological characteristics. He has publications and conference proceedings on tribology and mechanical behavior of polymer composites in various journals.
