Gyan Johari
Professor Emeritus, Materials Science and Engineering

Calorimetric, dielectric, mechanical and ultrasonic behaviour of glasses, and other amorphous solids, polymers, shape-memory metals, interstitial-free steel; cryo-preservation and protein-water interactions. Techniques for studying materials. Microwave and high frequency dielectric materials. Materials Science of Pharmaceuticals.

Current Research Projects:
- Dielectric properties of ceramics, glasses, and polymers from sub-audio to microwave frequencies.
- The processing of thermoset polymers, and the effects of physical ageing on their characteristics.
- Materials Science of Pharmaceuticals.
- C and N determination in "interstitials free" steel by internal friction and the effects of strain ageing.
- Deformation of shape-memory alloys.
- Protein-water interactions and cryo-preservation.
- Mechanical relaxation and damping in materials.
- Effect of elastic strain energy on phase transformations.
