Dr. Rohit Batra
Dr. Rohit Batra joined the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at IIT Madras as Assistant Professor in July 2022. Prior to this he had completed two Post-doctoral doctoral appointments, one at Center for Nanoscale Materials, Argonne National Lab, and the other at School of Materials Science and Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology. He received his PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from University of Connecticut and B.Tech. in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering from IIT Roorkee. Before joining IIT Madras he also had a 4 month stint at Rivian Automotive LLC’s R&D lab for cell manufacturing and battery development.
His research interest lies in the area of combining computational and data-driven methods to design new materials. He has expertise in first-principles electronic structure methods, molecular dynamics simulations, and many machine learning based techniques, particularly geared towards the general field of chemical and materials science.
