Educational/career/recognitions/research topics:
After a B.Sc. from University of Mysore, pursued studies at the Department of Metallurgy, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore 12, for the B.E. and M.E. degrees. In the area of physical/mechanical metallurgy, a research programme was undertaken leading to a Ph.D. degree. As a Lecturer, Assistant Professor, Associate Professor and Professor served as a faculty in the department. Later on, continued as an Emeritus Professor supported by CSIR and UGC. Listed amongst the distinguished alumni of SJC. A paper in the journal from ECSI had the distinction of being judged the best for the year of publication. This occurred another time but in a different journal, namely, Journal of NDE. Also received the prestigious NMD award. Had the good fortune of seeing the microscopy work from the laboratory feature on the cover page of a prestigious journal, viz., Journal of Materials Science, In Journal of Materials Science Letters too, the fractography work from the laboratory featured on the front cover page of an issue. The microscopy work received good visibility in two other journals, namely, Journal of Applied Polymer Science, published from overseas, and Bulletin of Materials Science, published in India. Two journal cover pages detailing the features from the work done in the laboratory are enclosed for viewing.
Areas of Research Interest:
Structure – Property correlations in metal-based and polymer matrix-based systems; development and characterisation of newer polymer-based composites; friction and wear studies. Work on developing, fabrication and characterisation of the then comparatively newer type cast iron, namely, compacted graphite cast iron yielded very encouraging results. The group also saw the fabrication of a solar furnace for melting metals. Processing, fabrication, and characterisation of polymer matrix–based composites involving naturally occurring jute and sisal fibres formed another facet of the work in the laboratory. Also involved in hybridizing naturally derived fibres with man made ones mainly for studying the properties of the resultant systems. The group also ventured into using abundantly occurring industrial waste material like fly ash for making newer composite systems. Physical and mechanical properties’ evaluation followed the fabrication. Studies on syntactic foams formed another rewarding activity. All these resulted in many dozens of publications in leading journals for the group.
