BIO

Dr Jithin Joseph MIEAust CMatP

Dr Joseph has an interdisciplinary background in mechanical engineering and materials engineering, with extensive experience (10+ years) in working within an array of high-performing academic (RMIT, Monash, UNSW, University of South Australia and IIT Madras/Hyderabad) and Australian industry (such as INFRABUILD, SANDVIK, Callidus) partners.

 

The area of expertise includes:

  • Advanced manufacturing of engineering alloys (Fe-, Ni-, Ti-, Al- and high entropy alloys) 
  • Processing-microstructure-property relationships through tailored heat treatment and thermomechanical processing.
  • Mechanical testing of alloys (nano- to macro- scale; tensile/compressive/bending; ambient-high temperature)
  • Surface engineering and surface coating techniques (wear, corrosion, oxidation, and surface integrity of  alloys and coatings)
  • Advanced microstructural characterisation (SEM/TEM/APT/XRD).
  • Sustainable alloy design (computational/CALPHAD)

 

Achievements:

  • Vice-Chancellor's 10 Years Service Milestone Award (2024)
  • Listed among Stanford's top 2% scientist list (2024) for single-recent year impact-2023 (Subfield: Materials).
  • 1st and corresponding author of the most cited research article in Wear published after 2018
  • 1st and corresponding author of one of the most cited research articles in Scripta Materialia and Manufacturing Letters published after 2020
