About Me

I have been involved in research on joining similar and dissimilar materials for almost 10 years. Throughout my academic journey, I have developed a strong passion for research, particularly in the field of welding. Journal publications, filed patents, funded research/ consultancy projects/industry-academia collaborations/ Collaborative research with universities abroad are some of the executed tasks and contributions.

My experiences in welding trials, mechanical testing, and metallurgical characterizations have been in the following areas:

Welding of metals and alloys by
- Magnetically Impelled Arc Butt Welding
- Magnetic Pulse Welding
- Ultrasonic Welding
- Cold Metal Transfer
Welding of composites by
- Friction Stir Welding
Welding of Polymers by
- Ultrasonic Welding
