Draft:Radhakanta Rana

  • Comment: (1) The page has been cleaned-up so try not to reintroduce the same issues. (2) However first and foremost, you do not have SIG COV. An article will not meet the criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia without it. Refer WP:42. The Tata Steel article may have counted if it wasn't a related source. Marquis may have counted if it wasn't a press release. So you're looking for at least two pieces of similar calibre but in reputable sources. MmeMaigret (talk) 11:43, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Comment: Draft is overly promotional and refbombed including source to text discrepancies (the claim that he is a "leading expert" has 9 sources, one of which is simply to a list of names). The whole "editorial experience" section is unnecessary promotional cruft. Despite two previous declines and a feedback thread on the Teahouse there has been no proper action on the feedback given and I do not expect this editor to get the point any time soon; so in the interest of not wasting reviewer time any further, I am rejecting this draft.

Radhakanta Rana (born 1979) is an Indian born metallurgist well-known for his research and development on advanced steel technologies [1][2]. He currently works at Tata Steel in The Netherlands[3] and is regarded as a leading expert in the field of advanced steels[4][5]. He is also the editor-in-chief of international journal Materials Science and Technology[6] and a guest researcher at the Delft University of Technology.[7]

Early life and education

Rana was born in West Bengal, India in May 1979 into a family of limited means. He attended Bengal Engineering College, in Shibpur, where he was obtained an undergraduate degree in metallurgical engineering in 2001. This was followed by a master of engineering degree in process metallurgy in 2003. He then received a Ph.D. in metallurgical and materials engineering in 2009 from the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) in Kharagpur. During his doctorate, Rana received a two-year DAAD Fellowship for advanced research at the Steel Institute of RWTH Aachen University in Germany.

Career

In 2008, Rana was appointed researcher of aluminium metallurgy at Corus in IJmuiden, Netherlands. His research focused on aluminium and steel products for automotive and electrical applications. In 2013, Rana joined the Colorado School of Mines where he worked as a Research Associate and conducted research on third-generation high-strength steels and microalloyed bar steels.

Rana returned to the Netherlands in 2015 where he joined Tata Steel leading projects[8] [9][10] to develop innovative steel products [11][4] [12] [5]. Rana received the Tata Steel Europe Innovista Award in 2018 and 2019.[3]

In 2020, he was elected a Fellow of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (FIMMM).[12] He is also a member of the Leadership Team of the Iron & Steel Group of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3)[13] and of the Steels Committee under Structural Materials Division of The Minerals, Metals and Materials Society (TMS)[14]

In 2024, Rana assumed a position as guest lecturer at Delft University of Technology.

Awards and honours

In 2015, his team won the Project Team Recognition Award from the United States Council for Automotive Research (USCAR) for a U.S. Department of Energy project on third-generation advanced high-strength steels[15]

He received the Brimacombe Medalist Award from The Minerals, Metals and Materials Society (TMS) in 2023.[16][17]

In 2025, Rana was awarded the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining Gold Medal for his significant contributions to advanced steel technologies and sustainable metallurgy.[18][19]

Journal work

Rana has served as Editor-in-Chief of the IOM3's Materials Science and Technology journal since 2018.[6] He was appointed an associate editor of Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A journal in 2026[20] and an associate editor of Philosophical Magazine Letters in 2025.[21]

He was appointed to the editorial board of International Materials Reviews (IOM3 Board) in 2026[22] and has been on the editorial board of Scientific Reports (Nature), since 2017.[23]
