About

Dr. Amlan Kar is presently employed as Research Scientist-II in Advanced Materials Processing and Welding Laboratory at South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. He held previous positions as a faculty member in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines) Dhanbad, India, and as a researcher in the division of Joining and Welding Research Institute (JWRI), Osaka University, serving as a postdoctoral researcher since March 2019. In this role, work was conducted on materials processing and welding of different materials, including aluminum-titanium, aluminum-steel, magnesium-steel, and processing of aluminum steel and titanium.

Prior to joining JWRI, postdoctoral research associate responsibilities were undertaken in Incremental Sheet Metal Forming at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, India, with the support of Boeing India. Participation in an Indo-Russian (DST - RMES) project on “Friction Stir Welding and Processing of Light Materials and Composite” at IISc Bangalore, India, and Belgorod State University, Russia, was also part of Dr. Kar's professional background.

Dr. Kar earned a B.Tech. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College, West Bengal, in 2009. His M.Tech. in Metal Forming from Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras), Chennai, India, was completed in 2011. Notably, he was awarded the prestigious “IIM SJEF Fellowships to M.Tech. Student (2009-2011)” during his M.Tech at IIT Madras. The Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from IISc Bangalore in 2017 focused on elucidating different micro-mechanisms associated with FSW of aluminum to titanium with and without an interlayer, sponsored by a DRDO, India project. Research interests encompass severe deformation processes, metal forming, friction stir welding and processing, cold spray, ballistic materials, solid-state additive manufacturing, and hybrid manufacturing.
