Jaya Verma is an Associate Professor at the Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT), China. She holds a PhD in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology and has research experience spanning nanomaterials, multifunctional polymer composite coatings, surface engineering, advanced manufacturing, and data driven materials design. She acquired 7 years of experience from reputed Universities around the world such as Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IITD), India and London South Bank University, London (LSBU, UK) while worked on a Govt funded project from the UK funding Counsil which is administered from the University of Manchester in the UK.
Her research focuses on the development of multifunctional surfaces and coatings with enhanced mechanical, antimicrobial, superhydrophobic, corrosion resistant, and other functional properties. Her recent work also integrates artificial intelligence and machine learning with materials and manufacturing for performance prediction, optimisation, and intelligent materials design.
Dr. Verma has published extensively in international journals in the areas of nanomaterials, coatings, manufacturing, biomaterials, and AI enabled engineering, and is also an inventor on three Indian patents relating to multifunctional coatings and nanoparticle based technologies. Her current research interests include AI guided surface engineering, predictive materials modelling, multifunctional polymer composite coatings, nanomaterials, and intelligent materials design.
