Prof. BNR's Research Group

Sidharth PC.

Mr. Sidharth PC has successfully completed his Bachelor's degree in Engineering from Govt. College of Engineering Kannur. He then pursued his M.Tech. degree from the National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal. His research focus primarily revolves around fracture modeling using phase-field models. By utilizing advanced computational techniques and mathematical frameworks, he aims to gain a deeper understanding of fracture behavior and its underlying mechanisms. Sidharth joined the research group in September 2020.
