Bhaduri is among nine retired faculty members granted emeritus status during the university's June 2026 Board of Trustees meeting. University Provost Mitchell S. McKinney said the honorees had made lasting contributions through their research, teaching and service.
Bhaduri earned undergraduate and master's degrees in physics, both with honors, from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur in 1974 and 1976 before moving to the United States to pursue a doctorate in materials science and engineering at Stony Brook University, which he completed in 1981.
Following postdoctoral research at Virginia Tech, he returned to India, where he served as senior research scientist and later principal research scientist at the Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory in Hyderabad. He later returned to the United States, holding faculty positions at the University of Cincinnati, the University of Idaho and Washington State University before serving as the George Bishop III Endowed Chair of Materials Science and Engineering at Clemson University.
Bhaduri joined the University of Toledo in 2007 as a professor in the Department of Mechanical, Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering, with a joint appointment in the Department of Surgery in the College of Medicine and Life Sciences.
His research has focused on advanced structural and biomedical materials, including bone tissue engineering, dental materials and biomaterials for medical applications. In 2013, he co-founded biomedical device company OsteoNovus.
According to the university, Bhaduri has authored or co-authored about 175 peer-reviewed papers, contributed seven book chapters and holds multiple patents related to bone cement and bone filler technologies. His honors include election as a Fellow of the American Ceramic Society, the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering and the National Academy of Inventors. In 2017, he was named a Distinguished University Professor at Toledo.
The university also conferred emeritus status on Stephen Christman, Mariann Churchwell, Daryl Dwyer, Lawrence Elmer, Llewellyn Gibbons, Gregory Meyer, John Plenefisch and Linda Rouillard.
