Dr. C K Mukhopadhyay Metallurgical Engineering and Non Destructive Testing (NDT)
I have a Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur and worked in a Government R&D organization for over 34 years. My broad areas of research were materials and non destructive testing (NDT). I worked in different fields including destructive and non-destructive testing, deformation, crack growth, and fracture behavior of materials; characterization of materials and residual stress; manufacturing processes, failure analysis; structural health monitoring, and structural integrity monitoring of components. I worked in different NDT techniques including penetrant, magnetic particle, magnetic flux leakage, eddy current, ultrasonic, X-ray radiation, X-ray diffraction, acoustic emission, and infrared thermography. I also served as a faculty at an aided institution (deemed-to-be-university) of our organization; and guest faculty at a Central University in India, teaching courses on materials, NDT, and manufacturing processes. I have teaching experience for more than 10 years and conducted several training and certification courses. I also helped students with their seminar presentations, project guidance, and career guidance.
If you are a student in metallurgical engineering or any related field, and your study includes materials, metallurgy, and NDT, I can help you understand the course and answer quizzes or exams. With more than 34 years of R&D experience, I deliver lectures from a practical point of view and create problem-solving ability, enthusiasm, originality in thinking, competitiveness in students' minds, and enriching them with the latest trends in technology.
Teaching is not a mere profession; it is an art where the brilliance of the students is polished and the future of the world is carved out. Good mentoring can bring about radical changes in the way a student views, understands, and approaches a challenge. The unique methods of employing fresh and inspiring ideas include periodical brainstorming and bringing practical aspects during lectures. Based on this philosophy, my teaching style is interactive, and I keep students involved in discussions. The material to be covered in the lecture is specified at the beginning of the lecture, so students can keep track of the material being covered and the relevance of each point being taught to the topic. The assignments and quizzes are aimed at judging concepts, not memory.
I will prepare very nice presentations for my classes. I can teach through both offline and online modes. Feel free to contact me.
