Breif Bio

Dr. Madireddy is a Research Scientist in Arbegast Materials Processing and Joining (AMP) Laboratory. At the AMP lab Dr. Madireddy is working on various advanced and additive manufacturing technologies. Prior to his appointment at SD Mines, Dr. Madireddy worked as additive manufacturing scientist at Sentient Science, as postdoctoral researcher at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and as graduate research assistant at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Research Expertise

Dr. Madireddy’s research expertise lies at the intersection of additive manufacturing, hybrid processing, and computational modeling. His work focuses on understanding and controlling residual stress formation, distortion, and microstructural evolution in various metal additive manufacturing processes such as directed energy deposition and powder bed fusion, and wire arc additive manufacturing. He has pioneered research in hybrid additive manufacturing (hybrid-AM) that integrates additive with secondary processes such as surface treatment processes (e.g., laser shock peening and ultrasonic impact treatment) or the subtractive processes to enhance part/process performance. Dr. Madireddy has extensive experience developing finite element models to simulate thermo-mechanical behavior, phase transformations, and process-structure-property relationships. Overall, his research aims to advance next-generation manufacturing technologies by integrating computational modeling with hands-on expertise in material characterization and testing.
