Post Doctoral Research Fellow
University of Michigan
Dr. Arpan Arora is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences at the University of Michigan, specializing in nuclear materials development and advanced manufacturing for extreme environments. His research focuses on the design and characterization of oxide dispersion–strengthened (ODS) 316L stainless steels and additively manufactured (AM) components for light water reactor (LWR) core internals and fusion structural applications.
He has extensive experience in selective laser melting (SLM), hot isostatic pressing (HIP), and spark plasma sintering (SPS) for developing high-performance steels with enhanced creep strength, corrosion resistance, and irradiation tolerance. His work integrates microstructural characterization (EBSD, TEM, XRD) with mechanical and corrosion testing to establish structure–property correlations critical for next-generation nuclear systems.
Dr. Arora’s ongoing efforts aim to bridge the gap between powder metallurgy, additive manufacturing, and nuclear materials engineering, contributing to the advancement of radiation-resistant and IASCC-resistant alloys for safe and sustainable nuclear energy systems.
