Ganesh Balasubramanian

Dr. Ganesh Balasubramanian is the Lambrakis Endowed Professor and Chair of the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of New Haven's Tagliatela College of Engineering. He holds a B.E. in Mechanical Engineering from Jadavpur University (2007) and a Ph.D. in Engineering Mechanics from Virginia Tech (2011). Prior to his current role, he served on the faculties of Iowa State University and Lehigh University.

His research focuses on advanced materials, predictive manufacturing, and computational materials science, with emphasis on high-entropy alloys, machine learning-driven material discovery, and additive manufacturing. He has secured significant funding through the NSF CAREER Grant and other federal grants (DOD, DOE). His work spans multi-principal element alloys, thermal transport, and materials under extreme conditions.

Key achievements include pioneering studies on hydrogen storage materials, surface engineering via predictive laser deposition, and optimizing mechanical properties of refractory alloys. His interdisciplinary approach bridges computational modeling and experimental validation, addressing challenges in energy storage, corrosion resistance, and nanotechnology.

Awards include multiple teaching and mentorship recognitions for his contributions to student development. His lab actively collaborates with industry partners to advance manufacturing technologies and sustainable materials solutions.
