Rahul Mitra, is professor of metallurgical and materials engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. Prior to that, he was a scientist at the Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory, Hyderabad. His research focuses primarily on processing as well as structure-property relations of silicide based intermetallic alloys, and metal and ceramic matrix composites for high temperature applications. Mitra received a B.Tech (Hons.) in metallurgical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur in 1988 and a Ph.D. in materials science and engineering from Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, USA in 1992. He has authored or co-authored 110 publications in peer reviewed journals.
