معرفی
Prof. Narendra B. Dahotre is a Regents Professor in Materials Science and Engineering at the University of North Texas (UNT) and serves as Associate Vice President for the Center for Agile & Adaptive Additive Manufacturing. He founded the Laboratory of Laser Aided Additive and Subtractive Manufacturing (LAASM), a state-of-the-art facility for advanced materials processing.
Research Interests:
- Laser-based additive and subtractive manufacturing of metals, ceramics, and composites
- Microstructure evolution and thermokinetics in additive processes
- Corrosion and mechanical behavior of additively manufactured alloys
- Magnetic and functional properties of additively manufactured materials
- Computational modeling and machine learning for process optimization
Publication Trends (2022-2025): Recent work emphasizes laser directed energy deposition and powder bed fusion for refractory metals (tungsten, tantalum) and lightweight alloys (titanium, aluminum). Key themes include defect mitigation, microstructure control, and multi-scale modeling. There is growing interest in in-situ monitoring and machine learning applications.
