Devesh Misra is Professor and Chair in the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at The University of Texas at El Paso. He obtained his undergraduate degree in Metallurgical Engineering from the Department of Metallurgical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University, India and PhD in Metallurgy and Materials Science from University of Cambridge, UK. Dr. Misra’s interdisciplinary research interests include advanced high strength-high toughness combination metals and alloys for structural and functional applications, materials for energy systems, biomaterials, and nanostructured materials including composite materials. These research programs involve the use of a broad spectrum of materials characterization techniques such as electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, EBSD, atomic force microscopy, and mechanical testing.
