About myself

"I am stressed, strained, stretched, buckled, bent, tortured, twisted, wrinkled, defective, dislocated .. everything to minimize energy." Confused? Haha, at the end it's all about solid mechanics. My primary research interests lies in understanding deformation of solids. I get excited everthing about solid mechanics. I can say strongly say that "stress" is my stress reliever.


Research interests

  • Design of metamaterials for sound mitigation
  • Rheology: Study of nonlinear solid-fluid mixtures
  • Shape morphing structures and large self actuation
  • Instabilities associated with large deformation of thin and slender structures
