Dr Nirmal Kumar is an Assistant Professor at Amity Institute of Applied Science, Amity University Noida, UP His thematic research is on “Nanomaterial’s preparation and their functional application”. He is currently working materials designing by mechanochemical synthesis for different application, and thermal spray coating of High entropy alloys for different applications and their theoretical modelling by Molecular dynamics (MD). The High entropy alloys are endowed with exceptional properties for catalytic activity and structural application, etc. His devotion is towards the development of nature-inspired materials for eco-friendly sustainable development.
