About

With over 5 years of experience in academia and the space research industry in India, I am an analytical-minded materials engineering PhD specializing in researching the microstructure-corrosion property correlations of metallic composite coatings and the optical, thermal, and electrochemical sensing properties of nanoparticles decorated polymer composites. My expertise includes utilizing highly sophisticated characterization techniques such as SEM, TEM, FIB, AFM, XRD, Raman, UV, and FTIR to investigate the microstructure of metallic coatings. Additionally, I have a proven track record in academia-industry collaborative research, particularly with the Indian Space Research Organisation. I excel in project and stakeholder management, and I am adept at employing advanced surface characterization and electrochemical performance analysis methods. I thrive on tackling new challenges, applying creativity, and leveraging scientific concepts in interdisciplinary and collaborative materials science research to develop practical applications. Please feel free to get in touch with me directly at sweetyarora2015@gmail.com. I look forward to connecting with you!
