Dr. Sumit kumarhaving teaching as well as industrial experience which make him sound for teaching and Research. He gained the experience on properties development of metallic materials by conventional heat treatment process
and surface hardening process. During his research, he is not only familiar with
conventional methods to develop mechanical and microstructural properties of metallicmaterials but also learned and introduce modeling and simulation in his work todetermine desirable processing parameters for the manufacturing as industrial use.Dr. S. Kumar has gained good expertise to operate some of the sophisticated instrumentslike Thermomechanical simulator (Gleeble3800) and FE-SEM (FEI Quanta 200 FEG) withEBSD attachment, Slurry pot tester, Profilometer, and Pin on disk.It is noteworthy that he has efficiently converted his research enthusiasm into top-peeredpublications and participated in international conferences and workshop.In addition to these, Dr. Sumit Kumar also trained the next generation of engineeringstudents and research scholars.
