==Biography==

Yogesh Joshi was born on 29 December 1974 in [[Ahmednagar]], in the Indian state of [[Maharashtra]]. Joshi completed graduate studies in [[polymer engineering]] at the [[Maharashtra Institute of Technology]], [[Pune]] after earning a [[Bachelor of Engineering]] (B.E.) degree from the [[University of Pune]] in 1996. He started his career as a project assistant at the [[National Chemical Laboratory]] (NCL) the same year.<ref name="Joshi on IITK">{{Cite web |url=http://www.iitk.ac.in/che/old/faculty/joshi_ym/ymj-paper/YMJ_CV.pdf |title=Joshi on IITK |date=2017 |publisher=IIT Kanpur}}</ref> After a year of service, he enrolled for doctoral studies at the [[Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay]], performing research at NCL as a research fellow. Completing his [[Doctor of Philosophy]] (Ph.D.) in 2001, Joshi moved to the [[United States]] to pursue postdoctoral studies at the Benjamin Levich Institute (2001–2004). On his return to India in 2004, he joined the [[Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur]] (IIT) as an assistant professor; he became an associate professor in 2009. He continues his service at IIT Kanpur as a professor in the department of chemical engineering,<ref name="Faculty profile">{{Cite web |url=https://www.iitk.ac.in/che/yj.htm |title=Faculty profile |date=2017 |publisher=Indian Institute of Technology, Madras}}</ref> also holding the C .

K. Kelkar Faculty Research Fellowship from 2013-2016. He also served as a visiting professor at the [[University of Maine (France)|University of Maine]] in 2008, at the [[University of Edinburgh]] in 2010, the Institute of Electronic Structure and Lasers (IESL), Greece in May 2015 and at the [[Institute of Chemical Technology]] in June 2015 as Shri V. V. Mariwala Visiting Professor.<ref name="Awards and honors">{{Cite web |url=http://home.iitk.ac.in/~joshi/awards.html |title=Awards and honors |date=2017 |publisher=IIT Kanpur}}</ref>

==Research==
Joshi's research includes contributions to the fields of the structure and dynamics of colloidal glasses and gels, [[soft matter]], [[Rheology]] of [[complex fluids]] and polymer [[nanocomposites]]. Joshi's research team at IIT Kanpur engages in multidisciplinary research on "molecular phenomena that is responsible for the flow behavior," specifically the rheological behavior of [[discotic]] nematic suspensions.<ref name="Group Home Page" /> His work has assisted in widening the understanding of the processing of soft matter and in the prediction of its shelf life.<ref name="Brief Profile of the Awardee" /> He is reported to have elucidated "the concept of time – temperature – stress equivalence for soft glassy materials" for the first time and has developed a non-equilibrium thermodynamics theory for predicting the approach of soft glassy material to equilibrium.<ref name="Joshi on INAE">{{Cite web |url=https://inae.in/expert-search/index.php/yogesh-moreshwar-joshi |title=Joshi on INAE |date=2017 |publisher=Indian National Academy of Engineering}}</ref><ref name="JoshiKhandekar2015">{{cite book|author1=Yogesh M.
