Exploring nanocomposite filler rods for welding of high strength Al-Zn-Mg alloys

The objective of the project is to study the possibility of welding high strength non-weldable Al 7xxx series alloy. For this study Zr-containing high strength AA7055 and AA7068 alloys would be chosen. In this vein, we aim to design and develop a nano-composite based novel filler alloy composition.

Food-to-Food Fortification to Enhance the Bio-functionality of Rice

Rice is one of the leading crops that constitutes major staple food for almost half of the world’s population. Rice is a major source of energy, but it is poor source of micronutrients. There is a need to improve biofunctional attributes of rice using innovative food-food fortification techniques.
