significant sustainable polymer composites and nanocomposites, coatings, and adhesives. He has received the Best Doctoral Thesis Award for Polymer & Process Engineering, IIT Roorkee, and Science Technology Engineering and Management (STEM) society.



Prof. Dr. Shigenobu Ogata is working as Full Professor in the Department of Mechanical Science and Bioengineering at Osaka University. He is also Professor of the Elements Strategy Initiative for Structural Materials, Kyoto University. He received Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Osaka University in 1998. He is Editor of Progress in Materials Science (Elsevier). He was Visiting Research Scientist in the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering at MIT 2001-2002 and Research Affiliate at MIT 2003-now. He and his group aim to develop reliable theoretical models for describing various nonlinear multi-scale and/or multiphysics phenomena that appear in solid materials and then to design materials with novel functions and a deformation process controlled at an atomic level in a predictive manner. Some mature and widely accepted models involve amorphous materials, deformation and strength of materials (such as describing the ideal shear strain of different materials and named the maximum shear strain shearability; revealing the formation mechanism of the shear band in metallic glass and amorphous metals), dislocation modeling, diffusion modeling, constitutive model, fundamental algorithms, structural materials, and nanostructure. His awards include Japanese Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME) Young Engineer Award (2004); Japanese Society of Materials Science (JSMS) Award for Promising Researcher (2005); JSME Medal for Outstanding Paper (2007); The Japan Institute of Metals Best Paper Awards (Materials Physics 2010, Engineering Materials 2014, Mechanics 2017, Materials Physics 2021); Lee Hsun Lecture Award of Institute of Metal Research, China (2014); JSME Computational Mechanics Division, Computational Mechanics Achievement Award (2015); and JSMS Award for Academic Contribution (2016).
