| Rare earth metals production and refining | By way of background, I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Metallurgy from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, India. I also have a Doctorate in Materials Science and Engineering from The Pennsylvania State University.
In addition to my professional education, I also possess 6 years of industrial and thirty-five years of academic research experience in high-temperature chemical and electrochemical processes- energy conversion, energy storage, and metals production, including rare earth metals. I have garnered over $22 million in research funding, authored and co-authored over 300 publications, including 30 issued patents, and made over 200 invited presentations. I teach courses in materials thermodynamics, kinetics, fuel cells and batteries, transport phenomena, and extractive metallurgy.
I serve as the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Sustainable Metallurgy, Springer, Chair of the TMS Early Career, Weertman and Hume-Rothery Award Subcommittee, and Member of the Editorial Board of Advances in Manufacturing, Springer. Moreover, I have received several professional recognitions that demonstrate my stature as an expert in my field. For instance, in the last ten years, some of my major awards include:
•2026 TMS Fellow Award –For pioneering work in the area of Metallurgy and Materials Science and Engineering.
•2024 TMS Honorary Symposium- High-Temperature Electrochemistry: An FMD Symposium Honoring Uday B. Pal
•2022 TMS Light Metals and Extraction & Processing Divisions Energy Best Paper Award – For the paper “Quantifying the Relationship Between Microstructure and Performance in Gadolinium-Doped Ceria Infiltrated Ni/YSZ Symmetric Cells” in the J. of Minerals, Metals and Materials Society.
•2020 Elected Fellow of AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science)- For pioneering work providing novel materials-based solutions in the field of engineering as applied to energy conversion and primary production of materials
•2015 AIME James Douglas Gold Medal- For pioneering work in the new field of metallurgy and materials as applied to primary production and recycling of metals
•2015 TMS Extraction and Processing Division Distinguished Lecturer Award- For pioneering work in the new field of metals production |
