Visiting Senior Research Fellow, University of Leeds, UK until Dec 2025
Institute coordinator for MoU with University of Leeds, UK until Dec 2025
SECTION: Manufacuring Science and Engineering (ME1)
RESEARCH AREAS AVAILABLE:
(i) Composites Manufacturing and Process models; (ii) Wear and Manufacturing Tribology; (iii) Machining Process Simulations
Over the past 5 years, I have developed the Advanced Composites Engineering (ACE) Laboratory at the Training Workshop of Mechanical Engineering Department, IIT Kharagpur. The laboratory is now drawing popularity across the globe, owing to the dedication, passion and self-motivation of some of the finest PhD and JRF scholars I have. Nonetheless, the enthusiasm of BTech and MTech students in their term projects is a plus. The laboratory was incepted in a classroom of 70 sqm and has farther expanded to an effective area of 85 sqm. This was not possible without the funding support of IIT Kharagpur, SERB, DRDO, ISRO, and Ministry of Textiles. On behalf of ACE Lab, we invite faculties, researchers and industrialists across the boundaries to visit our lab and try hands-on with fabrication of composites.
