About

Dr. L. N. Pattanaik is a leading researcher in advanced manufacturing and precision engineering, with a primary focus on micro-electro discharge machining (micro-EDM) and process optimization. His work addresses critical challenges in micro-machining, particularly the parametric optimization of drilling processes for materials essential to fuel nozzles, surgical instruments, micro-sensors, and robotics. In his highly cited 2021 study, Dr. Pattanaik introduced a novel application of Taguchi-based grey relation analysis to simultaneously optimize multiple parameters in micro-EDM drilling of brass C360, achieving significant improvements in machining efficiency and hole quality. This work, which has garnered 5 citations, demonstrates his ability to bridge theoretical optimization techniques with practical manufacturing solutions. Beyond this flagship paper, his research portfolio encompasses sustainable manufacturing, multi-objective optimization, and the development of hybrid machining processes. Dr. Pattanaik’s contributions are particularly valued by students and researchers seeking robust methodologies for enhancing precision in micro-manufacturing, and his work continues to influence the design of more efficient, cost-effective machining systems for high-stakes industrial applications.
