O autorze

Dr. Anirban Chowdhury has mostly worked in the area of ceramics and process-structure relationships in advanced high-temperature materials. He earned his bachelor's degree in Ceramic Technology from the University of Calcutta (College of Ceramic Technology) and M.Tech. in Materials Science from IIT Kanpur, India. He was also the recipient of the prestigious ORS Award and the Tetley & Lupton Scholarship during his PhD at the University of Leeds, UK (2005-2009). After he completed his PhD, he joined the Institute of Multidisciplinary Research for Advanced Materials (IMRAM) at Tohoku University, Japan, as a post-doctoral fellow. For a brief time, he also worked as a Research Associate with Prof. Atul H. Chokshi at IISc Bangalore (Dept. of Materials Engineering). In April 2012, he joined TATA Steel's R&D division (Jamshedpur, India) and worked on various coating projects. This is also the place where he first started experimental work on pyrochlore systems. At present, he serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at IIT Patna, which he joined in September 2013.
