Personal
I am a Ph.D. student in the department of Materials Science and Engineering at Pennsylvania State University, University Park . My research is focused on modeling of heat and momentum transport in friction stir welding (FSW) process. Currently, I am trying to study tool design modeling in the FSW.

I have had a broad range of courses in Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Chemical Engineering during my graduate studies. I am also a Teaching Assistant for MATSE 259 in Spring 08. This course is an introduction to physical metallurgy and material science in general.

I have a bachelor’s degree in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur. My senior thesis was on the effect of modes of heat source (either pulsed or continuous) on the weld geometry during the interaction of a heat source with a mild steel specimen through mathematical modeling.

I also have a masters' degree in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur. My masters research was based on study of geometry and solidification characteristics during interaction of a pulsed heat source with mild steel specimen.
