Manish M Pande

Manish M Pande is an Associate Professor in the Department of Metallurgical Engineering and Materials Science at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay), a position he has held since February 2024. He previously served as an Assistant Professor from August 2017 to February 2024. His research is centered on steelmaking processes, particularly steel cleanness, high-temperature experimentation, and metallic foams.

• Bachelor of Engineering in Metallurgical Engineering from VNIT Nagpur
• M.Tech in Metallurgical Engineering and Materials Science from IIT Bombay
• PhD in Metallurgical Engineering from KU Leuven, Belgium

His research interests focus on improving steel quality through understanding inclusion behavior, ferroalloy interactions, and real-time monitoring techniques in liquid steel processing. He employs advanced analytical methods such as Pulse Discrimination Analysis and Optical Emission Spectroscopy for in-process control.

The publication record demonstrates a consistent focus on steel cleanness, particularly in ultra-low carbon steels, with emphasis on how ferroalloy quality and processing sequences impact final steel purity. His work bridges fundamental interfacial chemistry with industrial process optimization.

While no formal awards are listed in the provided text, his research has been published in leading journals such as ISIJ International and Ironmaking & Steelmaking, and presented at international conferences like SCANMET.

Dr. Pande advises graduate students and leads a research group focused on clean steel technology, as evidenced by his group website. Although specific grants are not mentioned, his international PhD training and sustained research output suggest active funding support. He maintains both institutional and personal email contact for professional communication.
