His research excellence has been recognised by the European Commission with the MSCA Seal of Excellence (2025) and the Prime Minister’s Research Fellowship (PMRF) from the Government of India. Dr Kalgutkar’s work bridges rigorous experimental methods with advanced Finite Element (FE) modelling to enhance non-destructive evaluation (NDE) techniques. His current projects investigate the instability characteristics and dynamic behaviour of composite and laminated systems, providing the tools necessary to develop safer and more resilient modern infrastructure.
