She has published 13 papers in reputed international journals and presented 13 papers in national and international conferences. Prof. Dutta Majumdar is working as Professor for the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. She has completed her B.E (Metallurgy) from Calcutta University; M.Tech (Metallurgical and Materials Engineering) from IIT Kharagpur; and PhD (Metallurgical and Materials Engineering) from IIT Kharagpur and Dr.-Ing (Materials Science and Technology) T. U. Clausthal, Germany. Her areas of research interests include corrosion and surface protection, laser materials processing, biomaterials, advanced materials developed by non-equilibrium processing routes and advanced welding of similar and dissimilar materials. She made fundamental contributions on development of coatings by laser and plasma processing routes for improved wear, corrosion and high temperature oxidation resistance applications, established understanding of the metallurgy of rapid solidification of metals under the specific heat input of a laser source. She also made an extensive efforts for the development of compositionally graded surface and nano-dispersed surface for thermal barrier, hot corrosion and bio-implant applications by using hybrid coating technology. Her recent research interest concern ultra-fast laser processing of materials, development of coatings for bio-implant applications, electron beam welding and laser aided 3-D manufacturing of objects. She has published more than 150 papers in the international journals of repute and is recipient of several national and international awards. Dr. Ajit Behera is currently working as Assistant Professor in Metallurgical & Materials Department at National Institute of Technology, Rourkela.
