Dr. Choudhuri joined New Mexico Tech in 2019, and currently is an Associate Professor of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering. He did his PhD in Materials Science and Engg. from Michigan State University (2009),  and Bachelors of Technology (BTech) in Metallurgical and Materials Engg. from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (2002). 

His research interest lies at the intersection of Phase Transitions, Chemical Physics, Defect structures, Micromechanics and Physics-informed AI/ML. Dr. Choudhuri is passionate about pushing the frontiers of computational techniques to probe mechanisms in materials. We have extensive experience in examining phase transformations and defect structures in Aluminum, Magnesium, Titanium and High Entropy/Complex Concentrated alloys. In recent years, our group has made significant progress in exploring the chemistry and physics of hybrid organic-inorganic coordination materials like metal-organic frameworks (MOF). 

Dr. Choudhuri is a recipient of the prestigious National Science Foundation's CAREER award (DMR CMMT). Additionally, several other agencies (e.g., ACS-PRF, ARL, NSF MRI, Sandia) are currently funding, or have supported our efforts in the past.
