We transform alloy composition and microstructure atom by atom using 3D atom-probe tomography and AI-guided CALPHAD. This enables precise control over precipitates, grain boundaries, and solute segregation — directly improving creep resistance, fatigue life, and recyclability in Ni-superalloys, Al-Mg alloys, and beyond.
Yes. We offer collaboration via joint projects, PhD exchanges, or funded programs (SERB/DST/PMRF).
Aerospace (creep-resistant Ni-blades), automotive/EV (lightweight Al-Mg), energy (Cu-connectors, high-entropy alloys), and circular manufacturing. Our researches on alloys are designed for long life, full recyclability, and real-world validation in turbines, motors, and structural components.
If you would like to work with us, the following are procedures at IISc:
Ph.D. aspirants: Apply according to IISc rules and then an interview will follow at the Department of Materials Engineering.
M.Tech aspirants: Apply according to IISc rules.
If you would like to work with us, write to the PI (Principal Investigator) for any possibilities. Below are a few fellowship opportunities for post-doctoral researchers.
