Sonam Mukeshkumar Patel

I am currently working as a Lecturer in the Metallurgy Department at Dr. S. & S. S. Ghandhy College of Engineering & Technology, Surat, India. I hold a Ph.D. in Metallurgical & Materils Engineering from The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, where my research focused on magnesium and its alloys. With over 13 years of academic and research experience, I’ve published more than 20 research papers and book chapters, and co-authored technical books. My key research areas include lightweight alloys, corrosion science, and sustainable materials for transport applications. I’m actively involved in guiding students, reviewing scientific papers, and contributing to professional bodies like ISTE, IIM, and IEI. Currently, I serve on the Executive Committee of IEI (South Gujarat Local Centre). As an ACSE Ambassador, I look forward to promoting ethical research practices and giving a stronger voice to South Asian researchers in global scholarly publishing.
