With a career spanning just over a decade, Dr. Grewal has published over 80 peer-reviewed international journal papers, several national/international conference papers, patents, and sponsored projects from DST-SERB, NRB and CSIR.
“Some of his important research includes developing bio-inspired superhydrophobic self-cleaning metal and polymer surfaces that have tuned wetting, adhesion and friction properties. In addition, he uses techniques such as thermal spraying, microwave processing and friction stir processing. Also involved in surface modifications to control wear, and corrosion by use.”
His most recent research involves the development of nanostructured aluminum surfaces. The research harnesses a simple and environmentally friendly manufacturing route to develop durable surfaces for many applications – from biomedical to aerospace, and automobiles to home appliances and is easily scalable for industrial-scale production. His research was awarded a grant by the Fund for Science and Reform Technology (FIST), Government of India.
