About

Dr Rao is one of the few eminent Indian researchers, specialized in casting and solidification processing of light-weight alloys. Some of his earlier contributions include the development of technology for producing an Al-clad Mg-alloy strip through twin-roll casting, which inspired and attracted the attention of many other researchers. With his team at Brunel University, UK, he significantly contributed to the development of melt-conditioning in DC casting and successfully upscaled to SAPA aluminium (Sweden), now Norsk Hydro. As a part of this work, he worked with the University of Oxford, UK. He has authored around 70 articles in peer reviewed journals and conference proceedings with over 1500 citations and holds four patents. His research interests include solidification processing, un-diluted recycling of Aluminium; Artificial Intelligence, 3D-printing of metallic materials. Dr. Rao also serves as a reviewer for several research funding bodies of Malaysia, Czech Science Foundation, and Department of Science and Technology- India, and many reputed journals in his domain.

Dr. Prasadd earned substantial Industrial, Teaching and Research credentials during past 30 years, of which he spent a decade in overseas where he worked with:

Center for Advanced Aerospace Materials, POSTECH (www.postech.ac.kr ), Pohang, South Korea; College of North Atlantic-Qatar campus (https://www.cna-qatar.com/ ), Doha, Qatar; Brunel University (www.brunel.ac.uk ), London, UK; University of Oxford (www.ox.ac.uk) (Academic Visitor), UK; Universiti Malaysia Pahang (www.ump.edu.my)

Students who worked under the supervision of Prof. Rao in various research projects have published research articles in high quality SCI journals at their Undergraduate level and later embarked their further journeys to World's top Universities like University of Cambridge (U.K.); University California Berkeley (USA); National University of Singapore; Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) and so on..

Research Interests: Recycling of Aluminium, Artificial Intelligence/ Machine learning, High-Entropy alloys, Metal-Casting & Solidification processing, Alloy design and Development, Bulk Metallic Glasses, Direct-Chill casting of Al/ Mg alloys
