Phase transformations play an important role in the microstructure development in welds. The microstructure development in-turn controls the properties of weld. My research pertains to understanding the phase transformations, modeling the microstructure development and characterizing the microstructure in welds using high resolution analytical tools. This page gives an overview current research projects, publications and also calendar of events.
