About Me

Currently, I am working as an Associate Professor in the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur (IIT Jodhpur). Our research group interests include microstructure and texture evolution, mechanical behavior of materials, thermo-mechanical processing of materials, microstructure-mechanical property correlation, design/development of alloys, and biomaterials. I did my postdoctoral research with Professor Shi-Hoon Choi at Sunchon National University, Suncheon, Republic of Korea. I obtained my Ph.D. from the Department of Metallurgical Engineering and Materials Science at IIT Bombay in 2015. My Ph.D. thesis was mainly focused on microstructure and texture evolution during deformation in zirconium. I received my B.E. in Mechanical Engineering from Maharshi Dayanand University (MDU), Rohtak in 2009.

The goal of research done during my Ph.D. was to apply materials characterization tools to developments in microstructure and texture during plastic deformation of Zirconium (Zr) alloys. I was looking into the textural/micro-structural evolution in Zr based alloys subjected to different thermo-mechanical processing conditions. These alloys are important due to their applications in nuclear reactors. Specifically, I was using electron back-scatter diffraction (EBSD) and X-Ray diffraction techniques to characterize the microstructure and crystallographic textures of Zr based alloys. This research work has given me an opportunity to learn advanced characterization tools such as electron microscopy (SEM, TEM), diffraction (X-ray, EBSD), and mechanical testing techniques (tensile, compression).

The primary objective of my post-doctoral research work was to study the deformation and fracture mechanisms in magnesium (Mg) alloys during mini-V-bending and Erichsen tests at room temperature. I also worked on a range of minor projects related to different materials viz. commercially pure Ti, IF steel, 316L stainless steel fabricated by additive manufacturing (AM), and high/medium entropy alloys, etc. Mainly, I was looking into micro-structural/textural evolution and deformation mechanisms under different deformation modes such as uni-axial tension, compression, V-bending, Erichsen test etc.
