Responsibilities

  • Chairman, Steel Technology Centre
  • Head, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering

Research Areas

  • Physical metallurgy of steel
Area of work:Physical Metallurgy of steels, Phase Transformations, Thermomechnical simulation  

My research activities focus on understanding the phase transformation behaviour in steels.    This knowledge is then used to design and develop new steels or to optimise the process to obtain the desired microstructure and properties. Specific reserach areas include: Mechanism of baintie transformation in steels, TRIP aided steel, Bake hardening, High strength bainitic and multi-phase steels
