- Biography
- <p>Dr. Bharat Gwalani is a materials scientist and engineer who is currently a professor at North Carolina State University. He is well recognized in the field of high entropy alloys (HEAs) development and has published over 45 peer-reviewed articles in this field. He is also interested in material degradation, phase transformations, microstructural-mechanical/magnetic property relationships, solid-state processing of materials, additive manufacturing, and characterization of battery materials.</p><p>Dr. Bharat Gwalani's research at North Carolina State University focuses on developing alloys through compositional and process optimization for use in structural and functional applications. He aims to understand the fundamental aspects of material behavior and their response to various environments from the atomic to micrometer scales. His research group uses multi-length-scale materials characterization tools to develop synthesis-processing-property relationships in metallic systems.</p><p style="border: 0 solid rgba(217, 217, 227, 1); margin-bottom: 1.25em; color: rgba(55, 65, 81, 1); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgba(247, 247, 248, 1)">Here is a summary of Dr. Bharat Gwalani's education and appointments:</p><p style="border: 0 solid rgba(217, 217, 227, 1); margin-top: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; color: rgba(55, 65, 81, 1); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgba(247, 247, 248, 1)">Education:</p><ul style="border: 0 solid rgba(217, 217, 227, 1); list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; margin: 1.25em 0; padding: 0 0 0 1rem; display: flex; flex-direction: column; color: rgba(55, 65, 81, 1); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgba(247, 247, 248, 1)"><li style="border: 0 solid rgba(217, 217, 227, 1); margin: 0; padding-left: 0.375em; display: block; position: relative">Ph.D. in Materials Science & Engineering from University of North Texas, Denton, USA (2017)</li><li style="border: 0 solid rgba(217, 217, 227, 1); margin: 0; padding-left: 0.375em; display: block; position: relative">B.Tech. in Metallurgy and Materials Science from National Institute of Technology, Jaipur, India (2010)</li></ul><p style="border: 0 solid rgba(217, 217, 227, 1); margin-top: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; color: rgba(55, 65, 81, 1); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgba(247, 247, 248, 1)">Appointments:</p><ul style="border: 0 solid rgba(217, 217, 227, 1); list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; margin: 1.25em 0 0; padding: 0 0 0 1rem; display: flex; flex-direction: column; color: rgba(55, 65, 81, 1); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgba(247, 247, 248, 1)"><li style="border: 0 solid rgba(217, 217, 227, 1); margin: 0; padding-left: 0.375em; display: block; position: relative">Assistant Professor, North Carolina State University, Raleigh (2022-Present)</li><li style="border: 0 solid rgba(217, 217, 227, 1); margin: 0; padding-left: 0.375em; display: block; position: relative">Materials Scientist-III, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (2022-Aug 2022)</li><li style="border: 0 solid rgba(217, 217, 227, 1); margin: 0; padding-left: 0.375em; display: block; position: relative">Materials Scientist-II, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (2020-2021)</li><li style="border: 0 solid rgba(217, 217, 227, 1); margin: 0; padding-left: 0.375em; display: block; position: relative">Post-Doctoral Researcher, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (2019-2020)</li><li style="border: 0 solid rgba(217, 217, 227, 1); margin: 0; padding-left: 0.375em; display: block; position: relative">Post-Doctoral Researcher, University of North Texas, Denton (2017-2018)</li><li style="border: 0 solid rgba(217, 217, 227, 1); margin: 0; padding-left: 0.375em; display: block; position: relative">Graduate Research Assistant, University of North Texas, Denton (2013-2017)</li><li style="border: 0 solid rgba(217, 217, 227, 1); margin: 0; padding-left: 0.375em; display: block; position: relative">Junior Manager, Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL), Bokaro Steel Plant, India (2011-2013)</li><li style="border: 0 solid rgba(217, 217, 227, 1); margin: 0; padding-left: 0.375em; display: block; position: relative">Associate Manager, Jindal Stainless Limited (JSL), Hisar, India (2010-2011)</li></ul>
