Dr. Deepak Marla is currently working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay). He has obtained Ph.D from IIT Bombay and had done his post-doctoral work from the Technical University of Denmark & University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His work is in the domain of micro/nano-manufacturing using advanced techniques that involve lasers, electric discharges, electrochemical reactions, plasmas, and micro-tools. His research focuses on gaining a fundamental insight into these processes through a synergetic use of multi-physics modeling and simulation, and experiments with an eye on addressing critical challenges at the process level.
