He has 25 years of academic experience and one year experience in the industry. He completed his Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering from Govt. BDT College of Engineering Davanagere, Karnataka, India; MTech (PEST) from university BDT College of Engineering Davanagere, Karnataka and PhD (Materials) from IIT Kharagpur, West Bengal, India. His area of interest are advanced manufacturing and technology, non-traditional machining of advanced materials, severe plastic deformation, shape memory alloy and welding technology. He has more than 150 publications in peer-reviewed journals and conferences. He is a member of a number of professional bodies such as Indian Society of Technical Education (ISTE), Metrology Society of India (MSI), the Institution of Engineers (IE) and the Indian Institute of Metals (IIM). He has successfully guided 17 PhDs and 4 more are in the process of completion. Also, 29 MTech students and 26 engineering students have successfully completed their projects under his guidance. Two copyrights have been granted under his name such as "Flipping Type-ECAP Die" and "Slant type taper fixture-WEDM". He has completed a number of administrative roles such as heading the Department of Mechanical Engg, NITK Surathkal, Professor in-charge for Hostel affairs, Finance warden, Secretary DRPC and to name a few. The funded projects handled under him were "Investigation of machining characteristic of NiTi based shape memory alloys using WEDM" and "Study the corrosion behavior of Wrought Mg Alloys processed by Severe Plastic Deformation for Naval Applications".   Dr. P G Mukunda is working as a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, NITTE Meenakshi Institute of Technology, Bangalore since 2005. He is a former Retd. Professor of IIT Kharagpur. He has a vast teaching / research experience of more than 40 years in the Department of Metallurgy and Materials Engineering, IIT Kharagpur. He obtained his BSc (Hons) in Chemistry from Mysore University, DIISc (Metallurgy) from Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and MTech and PhD (Powder Metallurgy) from IIT Kharagpur. Dr. P G Mukunda has published more than 100 papers in peer-reviewed journals and conferences and has won several merit prizes and awards for the achievement of academic excellence in the university. He is a recipient of "Kamani gold medal" for the best research paper. He has worked as a Guest Professor at the University of Germany, Karlsruhe during 1974 - 1975 under Professor Tumbler in the area of Metallurgical Engineering. Dr P G Mukunda has an expertise in the areas of Metal Matrix Composites, solidification, metallurgical engineering, advanced materials, heat treatment, powders and materials processing. His thrust areas in research include investigation on sintering behavior of copper-tin andiron-graphite antifriction materials, studying the mechanism of structure formation in the alloying copper-tin and iron-graphite during sintering, sintering of silicon carbide powders, polytypes in SiC, production of SiC from rice husks, machinability and tribological properties of aluminium-silicon, modelling of centrifugal casting.
