Stochastic and Geometric Mechanics of Resilient Structures

Welcome to the SGMRS Group, a collaborative community of research scholars from the Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IITD). 

Our research group endeavours to forge novel theoretical frameworks for engineering phenomena, blending analytical prowess with advanced numerical techniques. We aim to craft robust and resilient architected materials that push the boundaries of possibility. Curious to see the minds at work? Meet the team here.
