About

Ashish Jain is an accomplished academic and researcher specialising in mechanical engineering with a profound expertise in deformation-induced transformation of austenite in steels. He holds a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology (MANIT), Bhopal, where his dissertation focused on linking the microstructure, mechanisms and mechanical properties of steels.

His PhD research, titled "Deformation Induced Transformation of Austenite in Steels," involved extensive analysis using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and optical microscopy. Ashish conducted tensile and compression testing, wear tests, micro-hardness and hardness measurements, contributing significantly to the understanding and advancement of materials science.

Ashish has published numerous research papers in reputable journals, including:
1. Influence of thermomechanical processing on the deformation-induced transformation in 304 stainless steel.
(Journal of Materials Science)
2. A Critical Review on Deformation-Induced Transformation Kinetics in Austenitic Stainless Steels.
(Materials Science and Technology)
3. Effect of Grain Size and Dislocation Density on the Work Hardening Behavior of SS 304.
(Journal of Materials Engineering and Performance)
4. Response Surface Modeling of Deformation-Induced Martensite in 304 Stainless Steel.
(Transactions of the Indian Institute of Metals)
5. Optimizing Thermomechanical Processing Routes to Achieve Desired Grain Size in SS 304 Using Response Surface Methodology.

He has proficiency in various software tools such as Microsoft Office, Origin Pro, Python, MATLAB, Minitab, Design-Expert, X-pert High Score, Image-J, JMatPro, Adobe Photoshop, and Mendeley Reference Manager. His laboratory skills include operating X-ray diffraction equipment, scanning electron microscopy, optical microscopy, electron backscattered diffraction, and conducting tensile, compression, wear, and impact tests. Additionally, he is experienced in ultrasonic probe-assisted casting and heat treatments to tailor microstructures in steels.
Ashish's research interests lie in physical metallurgy, phase transformation kinetics in steels, deformation mechanisms, structural characterisation, and mechanical behaviour. He has presented his work at various conferences and webinars, including the Swedish Steel Industry Webinar Series 2021 and the 3rd International Conference on Advances in Materials & Processing at IIT Roorkee.
His professional achievements include receiving multiple reviewer certificates from prestigious journals like the International Journal of Plasticity and the Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science. He has also achieved notable GATE scores (2017, 2019, 2020, 2026) in Mechanical Engineering.
Academically, Ashish has completed his Master of Technology in Stress and Vibration Analysis from MANIT, Bhopal, and his Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering from Jabalpur Engineering College. His strong academic background is complemented by his extracurricular achievements, including holding an NCC 'B' Certificate and excellent communication.
Ashish Jain is committed to advancing the field of mechanical engineering through innovative research and technical expertise, contributing to the growth and excellence of the institutions he is associated with.
