WPI Experts

Featured Expert: Brajendra Mishra
Brajendra Mishra, Kenneth G. Merriam Professor in Mechanical Engineering, and Director of the Metal Processing Institute at WPI, does research focused on sustainable stewardship of the Earth’s resources through the development of technologies to advance metals and materials processing. Mishra is an expert on resource recovery, reuse, remanufacturing, and recycling.
He recently led a research study that quantifies reductions in manufacturing-related emissions through the reuse of auto parts. The study also found that this strategy of reuse can also make the automotive industry more self-sufficient by strengthening the domestic supply chain. The research team will present its findings at The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society annual meeting this month.
Mishra can speak about the important challenge of developing industry-oriented methods for energy and materials sustainability.
He is one of many WPI experts on climate technology who are using their technological knowledge to find innovative ways to identify renewable resources, as a method of addressing carbon dioxide emissions.
