Sir Harshad Kumar Dharamshi Hansraj "Harry" Bhadeshia, FRS, FREng, FNAE is a British metallurgist and professor of metallurgy at the University of Cambridge. He is also professor of computational metallurgy at the Graduate Institute of Ferrous Technology, Pohang University of Science and Technology (South Korea) and director of the “SKF Steel Technology Centre”.
Biography
Born in Kenya to Indian parents,[1] Harry Bhadeshia moved to the United Kingdom in the 70s and studied at the City of London Polytechnic (now London Metropolitan University) where he graduated with a B.Sc. in 1976. He joined the University of Cambridge to work on the theory and significance of retained austenite in steels and obtained his Ph.D. in 1979. He worked as an SRC Research Fellow until 1981 and has been part of the academic staff at the University of Cambridge since then. He is the author of more than 500 published papers in the field of metallurgy.
In the 90s, he worked with British Steel (now part of Tata Steel Europe) on a carbide-free, silicon-rich bainitic steel that was used for rails in the Channel Tunnel[2] and later on a high-performance armour steel for the British Ministry of Defence.[3] In 2006, he was awarded the Bessemer Gold Medal by the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining for “outstanding services to the Steel Industry”.[4] In November 2008, he became the first Tata Steel Professor of Metallurgy [5] and he established and took the lead of the new “SKF University Technology Centre”, in May 2009 between SKF and the University of Cambridge to conduct research in the field of the physical metallurgy of bearing steels.[6]
