Prior to joining the Georgia Tech faculty in 2001 as a Professor, Yogendra Joshi held academic positions at the University of Maryland, College Park, and the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California. He also worked in the semiconductor assembly industry on process thermal model development. He was named to the McKenney/Shiver Chair in 2004.

Education

• Ph.D., University of Pennsylvania, 1984
• M.S., State University of New York, Buffalo, 1981
• B. Tech., Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, 1979

Teaching Interests

Professor Joshi's teaching interests encompass core mechanical engineering subjects at both undergraduate and graduate levels. These include materials behavior, thermodynamics, and micro/nanoscale materials science. He emphasizes foundational understanding and practical application, aiming to equip students with the skills to analyze and solve complex engineering problems related to materials and manufacturing processes.

Research Interests

Professor Joshi's research focuses on understanding the microstructural behavior of materials under various conditions to inform the design of advanced materials and manufacturing techniques.
