Dr. Rakesh Kumar (Alumni Speaker)
Dr. Rakesh Kumar is a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College London. His research is primarily focused on understanding the irradiation effects on the hardening behavior of nuclear material such as zirconium alloys using discrete dislocation plasticity (DDP) based models.
During his PhD, Rakesh has developed a strain-gradient based crystal plasticity model coupled with hydrogen transport model to study the challenging hydrogen embrittlement problem prominent in industrial metals and alloys.
