Rahul Samyal is currently working as Post Doctoral Researcher in the School of Engineering at the University of Limerick, Ireland. He completed his doctorate in Feb 2024 at the Department of Mechanical Engineering under the supervision of Dr. Ashok Kumar Bagha and Prof. Raman Bedi from Dr B R Ambedkar National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar, Punjab, India.
His current research interests are advanced manufacturing, material characterization, metallurgy, and microwave processing of materials. Previously, his work has been on the microwave joining of different metals and the dynamic characteristics of the joints. He has explored the characterization in terms of modal characteristics, phase identification, X-ray Diffraction, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Electron Back Scattered Diffraction (EBSD) and Fractography. He has contributed to scientific papers in leading international journals/conferences. He is also a reviewer of many international journals including Material Science and Engineering A.
