My journey as a materials engineer

Abstract

At the outset, let me confess that when I received an invitation from the INAE President for contributing an article for the INAE newsletter, I readily accepted without giving it much thought. I did not anticipate that writing about one's own life and work and making it interesting enough to hold the attention of the readers would be such a challenging task. But after struggling for months to finish the article (and often regretting on why I accepted the invitation), I can say that I am glad that I accepted the invitation because it gave me an opportunity to reflect on my life and career.
