Research Interest
My research interests lie at the intersection of mechanical and materials engineering, focusing on composite materials, solid mechanics, advanced manufacturing processes, and failure analysis. I am particularly passionate about the development and optimization of sustainable materials, which has become increasingly crucial in addressing the global demand for eco-friendly engineering solutions.
One of my core research areas is the development of fiber-reinforced composites and the enhancement of their mechanical properties through surface treatments like alkali treatment, which I explored in my award-winning paper. My work investigates how natural fibers like jute can be used in composite materials, offering sustainable alternatives to conventional synthetic fibers. This aligns with the global push toward the use of renewable resources and biodegradable materials, a trend gaining momentum in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and construction.
I am deeply interested in exploring the integration of advanced manufacturing techniques like additive manufacturing (3D printing), smart manufacturing, and automated processes in the production of composite and metal-based materials. Recent advancements in Industry 4.0 technologies, including the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) for predictive modeling and process optimization, offer exciting opportunities to revolutionize traditional manufacturing. These innovations allow for more efficient production with higher accuracy and customization, which is a key area I seek to explore in my future research.
Understanding the mechanical behavior of materials under various loading conditions is essential for designing reliable systems. My work in solid mechanics focuses on fatigue, creep, and fracture mechanics, exploring the limits of materials under extreme stress and environmental conditions. With the rise of smart materials and nano-engineered materials, the need for precise failure analysis becomes even more critical. I am keen to investigate these emerging materials and their applications in industries where failure is not an option, such as aerospace, biomedical devices, and energy systems.
In recent years, the field has seen a growing focus on sustainability, with researchers exploring recyclable composites and bio-based polymers as alternatives to petroleum-based products. Additionally, the application of machine learning in material discovery and performance prediction is transforming how we design and utilize materials. I am particularly interested in the use of digital twins—virtual models that simulate real-world material behavior in real time—an area gaining traction in sectors like aerospace, automotive, and construction.
Looking forward, my goal is to combine my expertise in these areas with new developments in advanced simulation tools like Abaqus and Ansys, AI-driven material design, and green manufacturing technologies to contribute to sustainable and high-performance material systems.
