Gentlemen,
Sub : Reg. Position as Materials Scientist.
	I have  been working as a Metallurgist and Materials Scientist
for the past 17 years. I would like to put to use my acquired knowledge
and skills in these fields of research in a practical way. I am keen to
work in interdisciplinary areas of research.As you can make out from my
cv and the list of my publications, I have sufficient expertise in
materials development as well as testing and evaluation. I have been
involved in several research projects in the above fields. I also have
some basic knowledge about ceramics and composites. Currently, I am on
sabbatical leave, for the purpose of pursuing Post-Doctoral Research.
Please respond by e-mail to the address shown below, if you can offer
me a research position in your organisation.
