Biography
Dr. Ravi Kant is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Ropar. Prior to joining IIT Ropar, he was working as an Assistant Professor at College of Engineering Pune (COEP) which is one of the oldest and most reputed institute in India. He received his Bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering from Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak (Haryana). He completed his M.Tech. from Department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Guwahati with a specialization in "Computer Assisted manufacturing". He worked on the Investigation on Formability of Adhesively Bonded Sheets during his M.Tech. project. He also obtained his doctorate from IIT Guwahati. During PhD, he worked on laser forming process. His PhD work includes experimental studies, numerical simulations, soft-computing modeling and optimization. After PhD, he worked on inverse estimation of unknown parameters and laser assisted adhesive joining of metal to polymer sheets. His research interests include laser based manufacturing, modeling and optimization of modern manufacturing processes, transmission welding, adhesive joining, inverse estimation, ultra-high speed machining, etc.
