A very warm welcome to my dot com!

I am Deepak Rajput. I am pursuing my Doctor of Philosophy in Materials Science at the Space Institute, The University of Tennesseee (UTSI). I joined UT in Fall 2006. I am a graduate research assistant to Dr. William Hofmeister at the Center for Laser Applications (CLA), UT Space Institute. I obtained my Bachelor of Technology in Metallurgical Engineering from the National Institute of Technology - Trichy, India, in 2004.

Prior to joining UT, I worked in the Research and Development division of Essar Steel Limited, a premier steel making company in India. I worked here for two years in the cadre of engineers and was in charge of the Materials Characterization Laboratory.

IMPORTANT: My website has finally moved to a dedicated IP. Hurray!

The third materials science crossword puzzle is ready and will be published soon. The second materials science crossword puzzle designed and uploaded. It's a 12 x 12 crossword with a total of 50 clues and 80% open spaces. Click here to play the puzzles. I will be preparing more crosswords and seek-a-word puzzles, but I am not sure of uploading their solutions. Kindly contact me if you need the solution(s). Your comments and suggestions will always be appreciated.
