Biography
I am Challarapu Bhavani, completed my B. Tech from RGUKT Basar. Currently working as a SRF in ARCI, Hyderabad and pursuing Ph.D. from University of Hyderabad. My research focuses on surface engineering through pulsed electrodeposition for developing advanced coatings. I have hands-on experience in electrochemical corrosion and tribocorrosion evaluation of materials. I am skilled in microstructural and phase analysis using SEM, TEM, and XRD, along with detailed data interpretation. I also have experience in metallographic sample preparation and performance correlation for tribology and corrosion applications. My work aims at designing durable coatings with improved wear and corrosion resistance for demanding environments.
Research Areas of Interest
My research interests include electrodeposition and surface engineering for developing protective coatings. I focus on corrosion and tribocorrosion behavior of materials in aggressive environments. I am also interested in tribological performance and durability of advanced coatings.
