Nominator's project description
| Professor Kumar is well known internationally for his outstanding research in the field of physical metallurgy. With his research, he enhanced the understanding of the fundamentals of deformation response of metals, alloys and intermetallic compounds intended for current and future technological applications. During his stay in Germany, he intends to examine the mechanical behaviour of iron aluminides, high strength steels and high entropy alloys. |
