معرفی
Raghu Srinivasan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Alaska. His research focuses on atmospheric corrosion of metallic and advanced materials, materials compatibility of light alloys (aluminum/magnesium), and environmental degradation of polymer/metal-matrix composites. He also specializes in corrosion protection coatings and material selection for design.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa (2010)
- M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa (2005)
- B.Tech. in Chemical and Electrochemical Engineering, CECRI, India (2002)
Research Interests:
His work addresses corrosion mechanisms in metallic systems, interface degradation between ceramics and light alloys, and development of protective coatings. He explores correlations between field and laboratory corrosion testing methodologies to improve material selection and failure analysis in harsh environments.
Publications:
Recent work includes studies on hydrophobic coatings for galvanic corrosion mitigation (2016), magnesium-ceramic interface degradation (2015), and electrochemical corrosion analysis of titanium diboride alloys (2012). His research bridges theoretical models with practical applications in aerospace and automotive materials.
