Research 

MINED Group’s research interests are broadly centered on designing material internal structure (including composition) for optimal performance in any selected application and identifying hybrid processing routes for its manufacture. To this end, he has   employed a harmonious blend of experimental, theoretical, and numerical approaches in his research.
