Dr. Tarasankar DebRoy is Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University. He develops computer models of welding and additive manufacturing that are useful to produce structurally sound and reliable products based on scientific principles. His models and research methodologies based on theories of metallurgy, heat and mass transfer, fluid flow and optimization have been widely used in industries, government laboratories and universities worldwide.
Sir Harry Bhadeshia FREng, FRS, FNAE is the Tata Steel Professor of Metallurgy at the University of Cambridge, UK . His work on solid-state phase transformations has contributed to the invention of new alloys and towards the better processing of existing alloys to achieve unusual properties. His mathematical methods can be used to reduce the vast number of parameters that have to be controlled during the creation and manufacture of new alloys.
