Bhaskar Majumdar

Bhaskar Majumdar is a Professor in the Department of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. He holds a PhD in Materials Science from the University of Rochester (1980), an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Science (1975), and a B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (1972).

His research focuses on structure-property relations in materials, microstructure optimization via thermo-mechanical processing, and advanced characterization techniques like XRD and neutron diffraction. Key areas include Ni-base superalloys, metallic composites, nanostructured Al-alloys, polymeric composites, Ti-alloys, surface contact mechanics, shape memory alloys, and magnetocaloric intermetallic alloys. Analytical/FEM modeling complements experimental work to predict deformation and optimize processing parameters.

Recent research highlights include Pb-free Sn electroplating improvements and magnetocaloric alloy development through texturing and doping. No scientific awards or grants are explicitly mentioned in the provided text. Advising records and lab affiliations are not detailed here.
