Israt Kabir

Dr. Israt Kabir serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Engineering within the School of Physics, Engineering & Computer Science at the University of Hertfordshire. Her academic profile spans teaching, research, and project leadership in advanced manufacturing domains.

Her educational foundation includes a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from City, University of London (2014-2019), focusing on finite element modelling of laser surface glazing techniques. This was preceded by Master's and Bachelor's degrees in Materials and Metallurgical Engineering, providing hands-on expertise in materials characterization and processing.

Research interests center on functionally graded additive manufacturing, laser-based AM processes, and sustainable manufacturing. Her work integrates computational modelling with experimental validation, particularly in WAAM sustainability and laser surface engineering. The publication trend reveals consistent output in high-impact journals since 2016, with recent emphasis on geometric tolerancing in AM (2022) and thermo-mechanical modelling of laser cladding (2022).

Key projects include:

• SWRC: In-situ Alloying for Wear-Resistant Coatings (2024-2026, Co-I)
• A Double-Diamond Approach for Sustainable Manufacturing (2021-2022, Co-I)
• INEX-ADAM: EU-funded Advanced Additive Manufacturing initiative (2018-2022, Researcher)

Teaching responsibilities encompass Materials in Engineering, Automotive Materials Manufacturing, and Properties of Materials, with supervision of undergraduate and postgraduate projects. Her fingerprint analysis highlights expertise in laser surfacing (100%), glazing techniques (100%), H13 tool steel applications (93%), and residual stress engineering (85%).
