I received my PhD degree in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IITM), India, and was the recipient of best PhD thesis of the year 2009 award. I work in the field of aluminium alloys, composites, and tribology. I have published more than 35 international scientific articles which are highly cited.

I do research in recycling, solidification processing, dowstream processing, surface engineering and degradation, characterisation, and microstructrue-property correlation of metals and metallic glasses.
