My doctoral work at NIT Warangal focused on the fabrication and experimental investigations of nanoparticle-reinforced Al7150 metal matrix composites, with expertise in stir casting, ultrasonic-assisted casting, functionally graded materials, and advanced characterization techniques (OM, SEM, XRD, DSC, FTIR, UTM, wear and tribological studies). I extended this into applications such as additive manufacturing, high-temperature shape memory alloys, biomaterials, and self-healing materials. At IIT Guwahati, my postdoctoral research explored ancient herbal plant-based applications for food grain preservation, bridging traditional knowledge with modern nanotechnology and sustainable storage solutions. Alongside, I have industry experience in applied R&amp;D and teaching experience at leading Indian institutes. With 23 publications (17 SCI, 4 Scopus, 2 book chapters), an h-index of 10, and expertise in composite materials, nanotechnology, tribology, and sustainable biomaterials, your research demonstrates both depth and versatility. My current interests include developing advanced composites, plant-based nanomaterials, and functional materials for energy, health, and marine applications, aligning well with global research priorities in sustainability and advanced manufacturing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9432,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","candidate_category":[166],"candidate_location":[162],"candidate_tag":[],"class_list":["post-9427","candidate","type-candidate","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","candidate_category-nanomaterials","candidate_location-india","is-featured"],"metas":{"_candidate_gender":"Male","_candidate_founded_date":"","_candidate_age":"35-40","_candidate_qualification":["Master\u2019s
