Presently, I am working as an assistant professor in the School of Mechanical Sciences at Odisha University of Technology and Research (OUTR), Bhubaneswar. Before this, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Division of Advanced Materials Engineering, Department of Energy Storage/Conversion Engineering, Graduate School, Jeonbuk National University, Republic of Korea. I did my Ph.D. in the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, India. My Ph.D. research work mostly focuses on modifying the structure-property relationship in Al-added low-density medium-Mn multicomponent steel for automotive applications. I am a highly motivated and dedicated individual with excellent teaching skills and more than a decade of scientific research experience, including over seven years of teaching experience. In peer-reviewed, reputable international journals, I have published 27 research articles, 17 of which I wrote as the first author. In addition, I have reviewed more than 150 articles for over 25 reputable journals. Area of expertise: • Alloy development and heat treatment • Strength-microstructure characteristics of steel • Failure Analysis • Impact behavior of materials • Structural characterization and evolution of texture components in steel • Corrosion and Tribological behavior of steel, metal matrix composites, and coating .
