    I am currently working on development of fiber-reinforced, geopolymer and 3D printable concrete mixes looking at both fresh and hardened properties. I have been a reviewer to journals like additive manufacturing, Advances in Concrete Construction, International journal of cleaner materials and International journal of computational methods.

    I have published journal papers in top quartile mechanics journals. My prior experience in the development of 3D printed polymeric composites helps me understand the behavior of 3D printed concrete. My previous research experiences during my masters and Ph.D. are summarized below.

    Ph.D. Thesis:

    Title Compliance-Tailored Multilayers: Theory, Computation, 3D Printing and Testing Supervisors Dr. Kumar Shanmugam, Associate Prof., Dept. of Mech. and Mat. Engg., Khalifa University of Sci. & Tech. , Abu Dhabi, U. A. E Description Mitigation of stress concentrations in multilayered materials and structures, particularly at free-edges, represents a significant opportunity for performance enhancement of such systems. Undesirable edge effects can be mitigated by appropriately spatially tuning the material properties. The emergence of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies, especially multi-material 3D printing, offers the possibility of cost-effective automation of the fabrication process and provides greater flexibility for locally tailoring the material architecture in three-dimensions across scales. This study is therefore focused on theoretical and computational modeling, additive manufacturing and experimental evaluation of compliance-tailored multilayers.

    Masters Thesis:

    Title Polynomial chaos characterized eigenvalue problem for large sparse systems Supervisors Dr. Debraj Ghosh, Associate Prof., Dept. of Civil Engineering, IISc Bangalore Description The Randomness in the properties (like Stiffness) of structural systems was modelled using chaos theory. This Stochastic finite element model was implemented using C++ as a platform using open source libraries like LAPACK and BLAS. The accuracy of results were tested against the classical Mote-Carlo algorithm and found to be in close proximity while the computation time needed was only a fraction of that needed for classical Monte-Carlo.
