Dr. Uday Chakkingal received his Ph.D from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), NY, USA in 1994. After postdoctoral research at RPI and at Monash University, Australia, he joined IIT Madras as a faculty member in 1998. Currently he is a Professor in the Department. He has worked extensively on severe plastic deformation processes for the production of ultra fine grained microstructures in aluminium, magnesium and titanium alloys. His current research interests are in the areas of sheet metal forming and sheet formability, stretch flangeability, advanced high strength steels, metallic biomaterials, etc. He has guided 16 Ph.D and 9 M.S. students so far. He also serves as consultant for several industries.
