Dr. Miryala's research is focused on Physics and Material Science & Engineering, notably in the domain of High Temperature Superconductivity. This field delves into the transmission of electricity within select materials, showcasing an exceptional trait—conductivity without energy loss—as well as the remarkable ability to expel magnetic fields. His major contribution in the field led to the development of an exceptional quantum ternary superconducting material named LREBa2Cu3Oy. The ternary LREBa2Cu3Oy material enables stable and efficient levitation up to 90.2K and rotation of objects without the need for traditional mechanical components such as ball bearings or lubricants..[1] [2] [3]

Early Life and Education

[edit]

Prof. Muralidhar Miryala is from Karvena, Telangana State, India. He commenced his academic journey at ZPHS Badepally (OU), for his undergraduate studies. He pursued a master's degree in Physics from the Department of Physics at Osmania University's College of Science. In 1992, he obtained his Ph.D. in Superconductivity from the same department.[4]

Research and Career

[edit]

Prof. Muralidhar Miryala's research is primarily focused on the synthesis, characterization, and application of innovative materials, particularly within the realms of superconductivity and the development of bulk melt texture RE-123 and MgB2 cryo-magnets. Dr. Muralidhar Miryala earned his Ph.D. in High Tc Superconductivity from Osmania University, Hyderabad, India, in 1992. Following this, he served as a lecturer and principal investigator in a young-scientist project from 1993 to 1995. Subsequently, he held positions at the superconductivity research laboratory (SRL) within the International Superconducting Technology Research Center (ISTEC) as both Chief Research Scientist and Senior Research Scientist, contributing from 1996 to 2008. Later, he joined the Japan Railways-Railway Technology Research Institute (RTRI) before becoming a Professor of the Shibaura Institute of Technology in 2013. At the Shibaura Institute of Technology, Prof. Muralidhar Miryala leads the Energy and Environment Laboratory, playing a crucial role in guiding academic initiatives. His influence is evident through various leadership roles such as serving on the Board of Councilor (2018-2023), Chair, and Deputy Chair of the OB World Technology University Network (2021-2023), along with his tenure as Deputy President within the same network (2015-2021).[5] [6]

Dr. Miryala's notable contributions in the field were inspired by the work of IBM researchers Georg Bednorz and K. Alex Müller, who discovered the high-Tc superconductor LaBaCuO in 1986[7]. Building upon this foundation, Paul Chu's substitution of La with Y in 1987 resulted in an increase in superconducting transition temperature, surpassing the cost-effective liquid nitrogen threshold [8]. Expanding on this progress, Prof. Miryala extended the substitution of Y with three and four elements, demonstrating their efficacy under high magnetic fields and temperatures [Patent 6,063,736, P2000-16811 A, EP 0 969527B]. Notably, Prof. Miryala's exploration led to the discovery of a novel ternary mixed NEG-123 system, capable of operation up to 15 T at 77 K and maintaining high performance up to 90.2 K [P2004-203727A, Physical Review Letters, Vol.89 (2002) 237001] [9] . This work is protected by three patents—one in the United States (Patent 6,063,736), one in the Europe (Patent EP 0 969527 B1), and another in Japan (P2000-16811 A) [10] [11] [12] Additionally, he devised a novel technology for producing RE-123 type silver sheathed wire through solid-state/liquid-phase reaction (0270260A). His advancements extend to the development of bulk MgB2 with enhanced superconducting properties, making affordable superconducting magnets feasible for medical and transportation applications. His contributions has been recognized with a Japanese patent (P2012-96938A) for the cost-efficient, high-performance LREBa2Cu3Oy super magnets produced at scale. Furthermore, Dr. Miryala's contributions include advancements in technology for DC Superconducting Cable in railway system applications [13] and the production of nano-scale particles using Ultrasonic techniques. This breakthrough significantly improves the cryomagnetic performance of low-cost MgB2 magnets, with a recent patent filed. These developments hold importance across various sectors, including healthcare, transportation, and power applications, enabling the creation of cost-effective products [14] [15]. In 2021, he was honored with the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Award in Science and Technology, a lifetime achievement recognition presented by the President of the Government of India.[16] Dr. Miryala's output includes over 550 research items, spanning patents, books, review articles, and press releases. He has delivered over 370 presentations, encompassing oral and poster sessions, including plenary and invited talks. [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22]
