Biography

In 1994 he moved to Germany, joined the Saarland University as an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow [10] (1994-1996). Following this, he worked for his habilitation (2004) [13] at the Saarland University until he accepted an offer of the Würzburg University in 2006 to become a Professor of Inorganic Chemistry. At the Würzburg University he established a research programm on the synthesis of nanomaterials and thin film systems by means of chemical vapour deposition using chemically tailored organometallic precursors. [14] In 2008, he was offered a full professorship in Inorganic and Materials Chemistry at the University of Cologne which he accepted. [13] He established the Steinbeis technology-transfer center Materials Alliance Cologne, [15] which supports small- and medium-sized enterprises to innovate their technology portfolio.

Mathur serves as Board member for the German Ceramic Society [16] and the federation of chemical industries ChemCologne in Rhineland. [17] Mathur has mentored a number of doctoral and postdoctoral researchers from a large number of nations. He has also served as the “International Ambassador” of the University of Cologne to foster international collaboration. [3] He has received calls as the director of the Institute for Functional Materials in KTH Royal Institute of Technology (2013) [18] and director of Institute for Technologies of Ceramic Components and Composites at the Stuttgart University (2020). [19]

Research

Mathur's research focuses on chemical concepts for the synthesis and processing of nanostructured ceramics and composites through the transformation of specially developed chemical feedstocks for energy and health applications. His research group has developed approaches for processing metal oxide nanoparticles, nanowires and nanostructured coatings, applicable in the fields of biomedicine (e.g. drug delivery and implant integration), sensing (gas and moisture detection), protective coatings (including barrier and anti-corrosion solutions) and functional surface modifications (e.g. transparent conductive oxides, photocatalytic materials and hydrophobic/hydrophilic coatings). [3] [13]

Mathur has also played a role in coordinating joint research projects with European consortia and industrial partners. He has been involved in technology transfer and collaboration with industry, particularly in the areas of sensors, electrodes, filters, catalytic supports and battery applications. [3] [13]

Academic

Mathur has published more than 500 articles including 15 reviews and book chapters. [12] [4] He has been invited to speak at over 200 international conferences, has given over 250 seminars in 35 countries and has chaired/co-chaired several international conferences and symposia. [4] He has edited 11 book in the field of nanomaterials science and engineering and is the co-owner of 11 patents originated in joint research projects and industrial collaboration. [4] Mathur has led joint research projects with industry and has been involved with technology transfer and industrial collaborations. He serves as the Faculty Advisor for the International Chapters of the Materials Research Society, jointly recognized by the European Materials Research Society (E-MRS) as well as the American Ceramic Society International Germany Chapter established at the University of Cologne.
