Ashok Ghosh, PhD, P.E.

Ashok Ghosh is an Associate Professor, leading the Bio-Inspired Multifunctional Materials (BIMM) Laboratory. He directs AQUASHIELD, a NASA-funded program developing fluid-filled composites — modeled on bone architecture — for water storage, radiation shielding, and thermal management in space habitats. He also serves as Co-PI on a DoD-funded CubeSat mission advancing space plasma research through the NMT Small Spacecraft Laboratory. His earlier innovative research pioneered forward-osmosis desalination of high-TDS produced water, resulting in two U.S. patents. In 2018, he served as a Fulbright Specialist in India, teaching the "3 E's" — Engineering, Economics, and Entrepreneurship. He teaches composite structures and engineering economics at NMT, and is a licensed Professional Engineer and New Mexico's 2019 Engineer of the Year.
