Dr. Harimkar is an assistant professor in the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Oklahoma State University. He received his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. His research interests encompass the processing and characterization of advanced materials, including nanomaterials, biomaterials and amorphous materials. His scholarly articles have appeared in major journals including Journal of Applied Physics, Scripta Materialia, Acta Materialia and Acta Biomaterialia. He is currently serving as a Vice Chair of Surface Engineering Committee of the Minerals, Metals and Materials Society (TMS). He is also a lead organizer of a symposium "Surface Engineering for Amorphous-, Nanocrystalline-, and Bio-materials" in TMS-2010 conference.

Laser machining is an emerging area with a wide variety of applications, ranging from bulk machining in metal forming to micromachining and microstructuring in electronics and biomedical applications. The unique properties of lasers allow for use in flexible manufacturing techniques such as laser-assisted mechanical machining (LAM) and laser-assisted chemical machining (LCM). Laser Fabrication and Machining of Materials provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental principles and emerging applications of lasers related to material removal and forming processes, and also provides a link between advanced materials and advanced processing and manufacturing techniques. Laser Fabrication and Machining of Materials introduces readers to the fundamental properties and physical phenomena of laser machining and its applications on the macro, micro and nano scales. Examples of existing, emerging and potential techniques are discussed, giving students and practicing engineers alike the opportunity to expand their use of lasers in such disciplines as mechanical processes, electronics, materials and manufacturing.
