YCN Representative - India
Jyoti
YCN representative for India
Postdoctoral researcher at the University of Rome, Tor Vergata, Italy
My name is Jyoti, and I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Rome “Tor Vergata,” Italy. I hold a PhD from IIT (BHU), Varanasi, India, and a Master’s degree in Ceramic Engineering from NIT Rourkela, India. My academic background has provided me with a strong foundation in ceramic processing, materials characterization, and advanced functional materials.
Following my doctoral studies, I was awarded the MAECI Research Scholarship (2023–2024) and conducted research at CNR-ISSMC, Faenza, Italy. During this period, I worked on ultra-high temperature ceramics, sustainable composites, and Direct Ink Writing (DIW). My current research focuses on the 3D printing of multifunctional ceramics for photocatalytic and piezoelectric applications, as well as the development of self-testing materials and self-healing concrete. My broader research interests include additive manufacturing of ceramics, smart and multifunctional materials, high-temperature ceramics, and sustainable processing, with a particular emphasis on designing materials that combine structural reliability with advanced functionality.
My contributions have been recognized with the JECS Trust Dedication Award (2024). I am an active member of both the Indian and Italian Ceramic Societies and am strongly committed to scientific outreach, collaboration, and the support of early-career researchers.
As a prospective YCN Representative for India, I am motivated to strengthen interactions among students, researchers, and industry partners. I aim to actively support initiatives such as promoting YCN and ECerS activities, contributing to webinars and newsletters, fostering industry engagement, and enhancing collaboration with national ceramic societies. I look forward to helping expand opportunities for young ceramists and encouraging greater participation in the YCN network.

Interface Engineering: High-Temperature Interactions Between High-Entropy Ceramics and Metals.
My research explores high-temperature interactions between high-entropy ceramics (HECs) and metals, with a focus on joining strategies for extreme environments. By understanding how metals wet and react with these advanced ceramics, I aim to design reliable interfaces for applications such as composites, coatings, and ceramic joining with functional properties. This work contributes to improving the performance and durability of materials used in demanding industries such as energy, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing.
