About Dr Dhanesh G Mohan

I lead a research lab focused on AI-driven net-zero manufacturing. My work harnesses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to innovate in alloy design, additive manufacturing, and hybrid welding.

As a Fellow of the Institute of Materials, Minerals, and Mining (FIMMM) and a licensed Professional Engineer (P.E.) and Chartered Engineer (C.Eng), I have over 15 years of academic and research experience.

I serve as an Editor-in-chief for the journal Research in Materials Science. Also, I serve as an associate editor for journals such as Part E: Journal of Process Mechanical Engineering (Sage Publishing), International Journal on Interactive Design and Manufacturing (IJIDeM) (Springer), and Welding International (Taylor & Francis). Additionally, I am an academic editor for Advances in Materials Science and Engineering and Advances in Polymer Technology (Wiley, Hindawi). I sit on the editorial boards of various journals, including the Journal of Adhesion Science and Technology (Taylor & Francis).

I hold adjunct professorships at Lovely Professional University and Chitkara University in Punjab, India. My research includes techniques like Big Area Additive Manufacturing (BAAM) and hybrid friction stir welding (FSW), exploring methods such as laser-assisted, ultrasonic vibration-assisted, and induction-assisted FSW, as well as Friction Stir Processing (FSP).

I investigate the mechanical, metallurgical, corrosive, and microstructural properties of dissimilar metals and alloys, including steels, magnesium alloys, aluminium alloys, and high entropy alloys.

A significant focus of my work is applying AI and ML to enhance our understanding of material properties and manufacturing processes, contributing to industrial and scientific advancements.
