About the Author
Monica Kapoor obtained her PhD in materials science and Engineering from Northwestern University in the design and development of precipitation-strengthened steels. She is currently a Senior Metallurgical Scientist in Materials Technology at Novelis Global Research & Technology Center in Kennesaw, Georgia. Her current interests are in transitioning basic research into advanced processes and alloys, early-stage clustering in Al alloys, and atom probe tomography. After her PhD, she has worked at University of Alabama on high-strength-low-alloy steels and nanocrystalline metals. Subsequently, she joined the National Energy Technology Laboratory where she developed transient-liquid-phase bonding methods for Ni-based super alloys. Her area of expertise is in physical metallurgy of structural metals and advanced characterization techniques, specifically atom probe tomography. She has published twenty-plus publications in high impact factor peer-reviewed journals. She is also an avid reviewer and was recognized as the Reviewer of the Year 2016 by Scripta Materialia.
