Abhijit Bhattacharyya is an Associate Professor with Mahindra University in the Mechanical Engineering department. His research primarily focuses on gaining a better understanding of machining processes, through modeling and experimental validation, in applications such as milling, high speed machining, and micromachining. He also explores the propagation of input parameter uncertainties through mathematical models describing physical processes.
