  • Dr. Anil Meena holds a Ph.D. from Arts et Métiers ParisTech in France and a B.Tech. from IIT Bombay in India. After completing a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at Arts et Métiers ParisTech, he joined IIT Madras. His research primarily focuses on the process–structure–property relationships in steels and cast irons, aiming to engineer materials with enhanced mechanical performance and functional characteristics. He has a strong interest in additive manufacturing (AM), where he investigates microstructural evolution, heat-treatment strategies, and their influence on component reliability and performance. In addition, his work extends to microstructure-machining relationships, focusing on how alloy composition and internal structures affect machinability. This involves tailoring microstructures to optimize performance, machinability, and application-specific properties.
