Kishore worked 36 years for The Dow Chemical Company before retiring as an R&D Fellow. Currently, he is an independent chemical process technology consultant. Besides 18 US patents, he has co-authored more than 35 publications including two chapters in the Encyclopedia of Chemical Processing published by Taylor & Francis Group. Kishore is lead co-author of the book “Mixing Process Technology: A Guide to Industrial Applications” recently published by CRC Press. During his career, Kishore initiated Dow’s tribology, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) research programs, and led the Global Fluid Mechanics and Mixing discipline. As an ardent innovation driver, he co-developed and implemented several new products to overcome unmet chemical processing needs. Examples include X-1P fluorinated-cyclotriphosphazene which lubricates rotating magnetic media, and such mixing impellers as the KT-3 tickler (licensed, manufactured and marketed by SPX Flow) which minimizes solids heals in draining slurry tanks. Kishore received his MS and PhD degrees in mechanical engineering (fluid, thermal, and aerospace science specialties) from Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, USA.
