Niyanth Sridharan

Dr. Niyanth Sridharan is a researcher at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) specializing in Microstructure Physics and Alloy Design. His work focuses on leveraging additive manufacturing (AM) to develop advanced multiphase materials with engineered interfaces that enable strain-induced martensitic transformations. This innovative approach enhances the strength and ductility of structural steels, demonstrating AM's potential for creating materials with superior mechanical properties that conventional methods cannot achieve.

Research interests include:

• Site-specific additive manufacturing techniques
• Microscale interface engineering
• Strain-induced phase transformations
• High-performance structural materials
