Research Scholar (Ph.D., MEXT Japan), Division of Quantum Science & Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan
About: My name is Munaswamy MURUGESH, currently PhD Scholar (MEXT Japan) from October 2021 in the Division of Applied Quantum Science & Engineering at Graduate School of Engineering, Hokkaido University, Japan. The research studies are focusing on “Process development for synthesizing novel nanomaterials (Core shell type) using dusty plasmas (DC magnetron sputtering discharge - Plasma technologies)”.
I have graduated with Master of Science (M.S.) Research during March 2021 with specialization in “Precision manufacturing using latest femtosecond (fs) pulsed laser technology” from the department of Mechanical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras, India. Alongside masters studies, have received 4 Months STSI Diploma (International Research Skills Program for Developing Sustainable Transportation System and Infrastructure) (Report) from Hokkaido University, Japan during June – September 2019 .
Hobbies : Photography/Media Processing , Travel and Cooking.

Experience (Summary): Prior to Master Course, I have been involved majorly three different research projects as a Project Fellow/Manager/ Scientist, for about 3 Years: One (1) and half (1/2) Years at IIT Hyderbad, Telgangana, India, for about two (2+) years at IIT Madras, India. I have completed my Bachelors of Technology (B.Tech.) in Mechanical Engineering from Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge Technologies (RGUKT), RK Valley, Andhra Pradesh in 2014.
Research Interests:
Plasma Technologies : Synthesis of novel nano-materials using DC Magnetron Sputtering discharges.
Unconventional Machining Processes : Laser Material Processing, Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM).
Micro/Nano manufacturing and Surface Modifications (Drilling, Texturing, Channels).
Synthesis and characterization of nano-particles.
Metallography of metal additive manufacturing (3d printing) / Welded Samples (Steel, Titanium alloys).
Personal Skills: Adaptability, Quick Learning, Resourcefulness, Persistence and Perseverance.
Personal Skills: Adaptability, Quick Learning, Resourcefulness, Persistence and Perseverance. I am adept in skills required for involving and handling various projects towards the fruitful completion and scientific documentation. I am quickly adoptable to new work environments in a short time. Adaptability with quick learning gives me the advantage of exploring and learning new techniques/processes with less difficulties. Cross learning and applied learning are something that I am fascinated about, that gave me the flexibility of applying critical skills to different projects. I believe this skill set can complement the effective work culture. Further, I am a progressive thinker in the workplace with healthy interpersonal skills. I am an active person in team activities alongside the technical involvement (rich in extracurricular skills).
