About

I’m Dr Sahil Sharma, a dedicated researcher and mechanical engineering professional with a Doctorate from the Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee (IIT Roorkee). My journey in engineering has been driven by a relentless curiosity to push the boundaries of machining processes specializing in hybrid and sequential techniques like simultaneous electrochemical and electrodischarge machining. With over five years of hands-on research, I’ve tackled the challenges of machining corrosion-resistant and difficult-to-cut materials, delivering innovative solutions for industries aiming to blend precision with sustainability.

From developing experimental setups to fabricating intricate shapes in materials like Inconel and glass, my work combines advanced tools COMSOL, Abaqus, FE-SEM, and machine learning etc. with a deep understanding of process mechanisms. I thrive at the intersection of theory and practice, turning complex ideas into tangible outcomes. My research has been published as 1 Book (CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Groups), Q1/Q2 top-tier journal articles (like in JMP, ASME, IOP Journal, Machining Science & Technology, Measurement etc), and several book chapters. I also have 4 patents (1 granted and Tech Transferred) and recognized with accolades such as the International Young Research Excellence Award 2024, Academic Excellence Award, Best Student Research Paper Award, MHRD Fellowship, and Springer Nature Research Ambassador, India title. Additionally, I have also completed several Government/Industry sponsored project of total 78.09 Lakh INR outlay .

Beyond academia, I’ve worn multiple hats Research Associate, Assistant Professor, and Quality Assurance Engineer bringing technical expertise and a collaborative spirit to every role. Whether it’s optimizing industrial processes, mentoring teams, or designing frugal engineering solutions (yes, I hold granted patents!), I’m all about creating impact. My toolkit? SolidWorks, AutoCAD, CNC programming, SYSMAC, CX-One, NB-designer, data presentation and analysis tools, and a knack for analytical and numerical modeling.

I’m passionate about micromachining, sustainable manufacturing, numerical modeling, machine learning, and additive technologies fields where innovation meets real-world needs. When I’m not geeking out over process optimization, you’ll find me at the gym, diving into a good book, or tinkering with DIY projects.
