Roll No: MM08D002
Jointly guided by Prof. K. Prasad Rao
Thesis title: Studies on solid state coatings by friction surfacing
Rafi defended thesis on May 31, 2011.
Currently Rafi is doing his post-doctoral research with Dr. Brent Stucker in Utah on additive manufacturing. Rafi’s work started the area of friction surfacing in the lab. His thesis has led to a number of publications as listed below.
