Vanakkam, Namaste, Hello - welcome to my webpage.

I am Sathyan Subbiah, currently a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Madras.

I teach, undertake research, and provide professional services in the field of manufacturing engineering.

My training has been in fixturing and micro-machining.

Machining is a way of manufacturing objects, providing shape to raw material by breaking and removing unwanted regions, just like an artisan chiselling away on a piece of stone. I am also interested in the broken material that comes out of this process.

Current activities: Teaching Modelling and Simulation in Manufacturing, Automation in Manufacturing. Exploring research in space manufacturing, diamond coatings/membranes, novel manufacturing processes, triboemissions, and graphene exfoliation.

Past work: Micro-milling thin sheet embossing molds, graphene exfoliations, vibratory media finishing process monitoring, compliant abrasive tool polishing process development.

Openings:

Project hirings will start soon. Watch this space!
