Dr. Panda is a materials scientist and interested in advanced materials processing through powder metallurgy and/or severe plastic deformation processing routes to understand the structure-property correlations in engineering materials. He is also interested in the development of high performance structural materials for defense applications, particularly Radome and Armor materials. He is also working on solid-state hydrogen storage materials, particularly light-weight metal hydrides and complex metal hydrides. Another research area is the utilization of biomass and industrial solid wastes for the production of engineering materials for various applications.
