Hi, I'm Suman Kumar. I currently work as a Scientist in the Heritage and Special Structures Group at CSIR-CBRI Roorkee. Before joining CSIR-CBRI Roorkee, I served in academia as a Trainee Teacher (NIT-IIT Trainee Teacher Scheme, MHRD, GoI) in the Department of Civil Engineering, NIT Meghalaya. I received a Doctoral and M. Tech—degree from the Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Guwahati, specializing in structural engineering. I obtained a B. Tech. from the Department of Civil Engineering, NIT Hamirpur, H.P., India. Further, I have hands-on exposure to numerical and experimental techniques in my research interest. Also, I am looking for collaborations from interested industries/ individuals across the globe.

Research Interest

Computational mechanics,
Blast and impact engineering,
Behavior of building collapse and demolition,
Behavior of composites under ballistic impact, and
Modelling and Simulation of Buildings and structures under multi-hazards scenarios.
