Dr. Rajib Chakraborty started his career in the year 2003 as a graduate engineer trainee in Tata Steel Group companies after successful completion of B.E (Honors) in Mechanical Engineering from Jadavpur University, Kolkata. In due course of time, he successfully handled several green field and improvement projects as a project manager. His engagement in some of the projects are namely “Tata Nano Chassis development through roll forming and stretch bending process”, set up of high end downstream processing plant for steel processing, exploration of global vendor base for new technologies, renovation and transfer of mothballed equipment from Europe to India, etc. as a project manager. In the year 2014, he left job to pursue research work at IIT Kharagpur. He received PhD in Mechanical Engineering in 2019 from IIT Kharagpur.
During the period of 2018 to 2023, he was also actively engaged with the metal additive manufacturing project group of DHI CoEAMT of IIT Kharagpur. Various eminent companies like BHEL, Tata Motors and Tata Sons are directly associated with this AM project as a major industrial consortium partner for the development of their upcoming product/components/technology through additive manufacturing route.
He has altogether two decades of experience out of which 11 years in corporate and industrial field along with 9 years of academic and research experience in the field of metal additive manufacturing, laser material processing, electrochemical deposition, biomaterials coating, and material characterization.
