Areas of Research

My research is focused on Metal-Additive Manufacturing. The specific research interests include:

• Titanium and Ni-based Superalloys

• Metal Additive Manufacturing

• Dimensional Analysis of Components

• Material Science (Experimental and Computational)

• Finite Element Method

• in-situ and ex-situ Microstructure control for desired properties

• Phase Transformations in Materials

Other areas of interest (worked previously but still open) include Modulation-Assisted Machining and Recycling of Metal Waste.

Hands-on techniques:

• Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)

• Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD)

• Scanning electron microscopy (SEM)

• Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS)

• Indentation-based micron and nano-hardness 

• Uniaxial Tensile, Compression and Fatigue 

• Dilatometery

• Induction heating-based Heat Treatments

• Powder characterization
