Shibayan Roy

Dr. Shibayan Roy is an Assistant Professor at the Materials Science Center, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. His research focuses on microstructure evolution during heat treatment of titanium alloys, particularly Ti-6Al-4V, emphasizing orientation-dependent spheroidization and texture modification mechanisms.

Research interests include:

• Mechanistic analysis of α-phase transformation kinetics
• Interfacial energy anisotropy in deformed microstructures
• Texture engineering through sub β-transus annealing

His 2018 work on Ti-6Al-4V demonstrated how prior deformation influences spheroidization sequences and reorients texture fibers through α-phase boundary dynamics. Affiliations include the Department of Materials Science and interdepartmental research groups at IIT-Kharagpur.
