Dr. Shibayan Roy is currently an Associate Professor in the Materials Science Center of Indian Institute of Technology IIT-Kharagpur in India. He has joined the institute from November 2015 and continuing till date.
Previously, Dr. Roy was a post-doctoral research associate at Materials Science and Technology Division in Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennesse, USA from November, 2013 to October 2015. Forewords, he worked as a post-doctoral researcher at Institute für Werkstoffwissenschaft und Werkstofftechnik (IWW), Fakultät für Maschinenbau, Chemnitz University of Technology, Chemnitz, Germany from February 2012 to September, 2013. Dr. Roy has obtained his PhD degree from the Department of Materials Engineering, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore on November, 2011.
Dr. Roy was graduated from Calcutta University with a Bachelor degree (B.Tech) in Ceramic Technology in July 2003. He subsequently completed his Master’s at Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (MME), Indian Institute of Technology (IIT Kanpur) between August 2003 to May 2005. He had worked afterwards in National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL), Bangalore as Scientist B from June 2005 to July 2006.
Dr. Roy has published several papers in various international journals of scientific repute (including high-impact journals like Acta Materialia, Philosopical Magazine, Materials Science and Engineering A, Metallurgical and Materials Transaction A, Journal of Alloys and Compounds, Materials & Design etc.). He has also authored two book chapters and several project documents (during his stay at NAL). His publication spans from the field of ceramic processing (his first publication that came out of undergraduate research project) to the field of Biomaterials (publication from Master’s degree) and finally, on the field of processing-microstructure-texture-property correlation in various metals and alloys (publications from his PhD and post-doctoral research). He presently serves as a reviewer to various journals from the field of materials science e.g. Materials Science and Engineering A, Metallurgical and Materials Transaction A, Materials Characterization, Scientific Reports (A Nature series open-access publication) etc. He also offers professional service as a project reviewer for the “Excellence initiative of the German Federal and State Government, RWTH Aachen, Aachen, Germany”.
As for his research interest, Dr. Roy have been so far involved in the broad area of “Processing-Structure-Property correlation” through the understanding of micro-mechanisms that governs the fundamental mechanical response of materials. More specifically, various aspects of microstructure and crystallographic texture evolution as a result of thermo-mechanical processing, often involving deformation and/or phase transformation always fascinated him. Also interesting is the interrelation between these inherent attributes of any material system to the final output that one can observe in the form of various properties, so to say mechanical response of material systems as a function of structure and orientation of its constituents on various length scales. In summary, he has had a broad experience of working with various material systems throughout his research career, which helped him in understanding different aspects of their physical and mechanical behaviour.
