Indranil Basu

Dr. Indranil Basu is a Researcher at ETH Zurich's Department of Materials, specifically within the Metal Physics and Technology group led by Prof. J.F. Löffler. His research focuses on light alloys, high entropy alloys, additive manufacturing, and process-structure-property relationships. He holds a Bachelors from IIT Roorkee, a Masters from the University of Western Ontario, and a PhD from RWTH Aachen University, where he investigated rare earth effects on Mg alloys. His postdoctoral work at the University of Groningen addressed mechanical behavior and dislocation dynamics in Mg/Ti-based and high entropy alloys, collaborating with industries like Bosch and SKF.

Key research areas include magnesium alloy ductility enhancement via atomic segregation, strengthening mechanisms in high entropy alloys, and additive manufacturing of metallic multimaterials. He has been recognized with the prestigious Borcher's Prize from RWTH Aachen University for his doctoral work. His publications span topics such as ferritic steel embrittlement mitigation, twinning-induced stress gradients, and interfacial effects in high entropy alloys.

Advising and grants details are not explicitly mentioned in the text. He is affiliated with the Metal Physics and Technology group, contributing to both academic and industrial projects.
