Rajiv Mishra

Rajiv Mishra is University Distinguished Research Professor in Materials Science and Engineering at University of North Texas. His research develops innovative solid-state processing techniques including friction stir based additive manufacturing (Additive Friction Stir Deposition, SolidStir Extrusion), with applications in high-entropy alloys, metastable materials, and functional composites.

Recent publications focus on overcoming strength-ductility trade-offs in transformative alloys, irradiation resistance of metastable systems, and novel processing routes for high-conductivity conductors. His patented SolidStir® technology enables energy-efficient manufacturing of complex structures.
