​Koushik Dey

Ph.D. student

My name is Koushik Dey. I am currently pursuing my doctorate in the MTE department of UA. My research interests are focused on studying the behavior of High Entropy Alloys using nanomechanical techniques such as electron microscopes and gaining mechanistic insights about their processing, microstructure and characteristics. My passion for research and my desire to understand the complex mechanics of materials drive me to continuously seek out new challenges and opportunities for growth. In all aspects of my life, I strive to be a lifelong learner, continuously seeking out new experiences and knowledge, and applying what I have learned to make a positive impact on the world.​
