I have recently completed my PhD in the Dept of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at IIT Madras. My doctoral research was primarily based on understanding the stability of different phases and correlating the same with the mechanical response of Ni-alloyed Fe-Mn-Al-C steels with high specific strength. I have previously, been an undergraduate student of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at NIT Durgapur. I am currently pursuing my postdoctoral research at Nanostructure Analysis group, Research Centre for Magnetic and Spintronic Materials, National Institute for Materials Science (Japan) since October 2023.
