We engineer next-generation materials for aerospace, automotive, and energy applications. By tailoring atomic structure through precise elemental additions, we deliver alloys with superior strength, creep resistance, and lightweight performance.
The Atomic-Scale Engineering of Structural Materials (ASESM) group (formerly Alloy3DLab) is led by Dr. Surendra Kumar Makineni, Assistant Professor in the Department of Materials Engineering at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore. Established around 2020, the lab focuses on atomic-scale manipulation of materials through elemental additions and advanced characterization (e.g., atom probe tomography, TEM) to enhance properties like strength, ductility, creep resistance, and sustainability.

Our research connects atomic-scale structure with macroscopic behavior, revealing the mechanisms that govern strength, stability, and functionality in complex alloys.
Through advanced electron microscopy, 3D atom-probe tomography, and computational modeling, we uncover how nanoscale phenomena dictate material performance and evolution.
From Co-/Ni-superalloys to lightweight Al-/Mg-based systems and high-entropy materials, our studies expand the scientific foundation for next-generation structural and functional materials.
