Rate My Professor Aravind Gali

Dr. Aravind Gali is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at the National Institute of Technology, Jamshedpur, having joined the institution on May 30, 2018. He holds a B.Tech. degree in Metallurgical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, awarded in 2002. Dr. Gali conducted graduate research at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, culminating in a thesis titled 'Thermal Stability of Binary Cr-Cr3Si and Ternary NiAl-Mo Eutectic In Situ Composites' in 2003. His research specializations include high entropy alloys, bulk metallic glasses, refractory metals and alloys, in situ composites, physical metallurgy, thermodynamics, phase transformations, and structure-property correlations.

Dr. Gali has produced 13 research publications, accumulating 1396 citations on ResearchGate. Key publications encompass 'Tensile properties of high- and medium-entropy alloys' (Acta Materialia, 2013, co-authored with E.P. George), which details the tensile testing of equiatomic face-centered-cubic high- and medium-entropy alloys arc-melted and hot-rolled into recrystallized sheets. Another prominent paper is 'Enhanced plasticity in a Zr-based bulk metallic glass composite with in situ formed intermetallic phases.' Additional works include 'Effect of processing and microalloying elements on the thermal stability of Cr-Cr3Si and NiAl-Mo eutectic alloys,' 'Mechanical properties and deformation behavior of dual-phase Al0.6CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy with heterogeneous structure at room and cryogenic temperatures,' and contributions to conference proceedings such as those from RAMPC events. He has served as organizing secretary for RAMPC-2025, co-convened with Dr. Sanjay Kumar Vajpai and Dr. Jichil Majhi, focusing on innovation in materials processing and characterization. Dr. Gali participates in institutional committees, including the anti-ragging committee and convocation hall management committee, and supervises Ph.D. students in his department, such as those under his guidance in recent annual reports.
