About

Anurag Roy is a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley, currently working as an Orientation Leader at the Berkeley International Office. In this role, he is part of a team of 25 Orientation Leaders responsible for organizing and facilitating orientation events to welcome new international students and help them adjust to their new life at UC-Berkeley. Anurag has been instrumental in helping to organize orientation activities for Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 semesters. Anurag has also worked as a Graduate Teaching Assistant at UC-Berkeley, where he instructed weekly discussion sections, labs, and OH for ME108, an undergraduate course. The course focused on topics such as engineering materials, heat treatment, structure-property relationships, elastic deformation and multi-axial loading, plastic deformation and yield criteria, dislocation plasticity and strengthening mechanisms, creep, stress concentration effects, fracture, fatigue, and contact deformation. As a Graduate Research Assistant at UC-Berkeley, Anurag's research focused on developing and characterizing the structure, composition, and thermal stability of layered, protective nano-coating systems made of amorphous-Carbon (a-C) for the emerging Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) technology in Hard-disk drives (HDDs). He utilized various characterization tools such as TEM, STEM, EELS, and XPS to carry out his research. Anurag has a MS-PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering from UC-Berkeley, which he is expected to complete in 2023. He also holds an Integrated Bachelor's and Master's of Technology Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University), Varanasi, which he completed in 2016. Anurag completed his High School and Secondary Exam Certificate from Atomic Energy Central School. Anurag's tech stack includes Spring and Research Scientist. He has 1.28 years of relevant experience.
