I am an incoming Assistant Professor at IIT Bombay starting in December 2025.

Currently, I am @ FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany. Currently, I actively work on (i) High temperature oxidation mechanisms in Ni and Fe-based superalloys, and (ii) Transpassive corrosion studies in Ni-based alloys using electrochemical, and complementary respirometric methods.

In 2023, I graduated with a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from The Ohio State University, USA where I worked at the Fontana Corrosion Center with Prof. Gerald S. Frankel on localized corrosion mechanisms in Fe and Ni-based corrosion-resistant alloys. Prior to that, I completed my B.Tech. (Hons.) in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering from the National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, India.

Besides research, I am actively involved with The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) through the Corrosion and Environmental effects committee, High temperature alloys committee, Phase Transformations committee, the Emerging Professionals committee. I also hold professional memberships with  The Electrochemical Society, ASM International, Association for Material Protection and Performance (AMPP). I was a student board member of ASM International in 2023-2024.
