Dr. Jayant Jain has completed his B. Tech with Honours in Metallurgical Engineering from NIT Raipur, India. He obtained his M. Tech in Materials Engineering from IIT Kanpur, India in 2004 and PhD in Materials Engineering from University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada in 2010. He also worked as a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at Institute for Frontier Materials in Deakin University, Geelong, Australia till 2012. He joined Department of Applied Mechanics as an Assistant Professor in 2012.
Dr. Jayant Jain is currently working as an Associate Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, IIT Delhi. His research work is focussed in the areas of materials characterization, microstructure-property correlation, alloy design and control of microstructure and texture through processing. The work also includes investigation of nanoscale deformation, wear, creep and fatigue in novel materials.
