Profile Summary

Enthusiastic and self-motivated scientist with experience in ceramic processing through traditional powder metallurgy and novel polymeric routes along with in-depth knowledge of metal processing, metallurgical processes and Materials Chemistry. I like to work on product-related research problems. Demonstrated ability as a creative problem solver with synthesizing a single material system which finds application across different applications including catalysis, structural materials, high-temperature stability and additive manufacturing (DLP, 3D printing). Efficient collaborator with demonstrated ability leading to successful completion of 2 projects started with academic labs in the USA and Germany Apart from this I also have experience of working in corporate settings through my internships at TATA Steel and L&T. I have hands on experience with advanced characterization techniques like Optical Microscopy, XRD, SEM with EDS / WDS, EPMA, EBSD, Dilatometry, Thermal analysis, etc.
