Faculty Research

Prof Ghosal’s group has been modelling and analysing multi-fingered hands as parallel robots, and developing biomedical devices for minimally invasive surgeries

Prof Gurumoorthy leads the CAD laboratory, which addresses problems related not just with representing product models, but also reasoning with them.

Prof Jog’s research group is involved in the development of new finite element strategies for solving multi-physics problems.

Prof Sen’s group conducts research aimed at understanding shape, motion and their interaction using the knowledge of geometry, topology and kinematics.

Prof Ananthasuresh leads the M2D2 lab, which explores designing elastically deformable bodies to realise desired motions in multi-disciplinary settings.

Prof Dutta’s heat transfer lab aims to solve thermal and cooling challenges in various applications through fundamental research and innovation.

Prof Narasimhan’s group works on understanding crack tip fields for different lattice orientations and fracture configurations, guiding the choice of texture and microstructure in polycrystalline alloys for improved fracture resistance.

Prof Govardhan’s flow physics lab explores a range of fluid mechanical phenomena with a focus on fluid structure interaction problems.

Prof Shukla’s Direct numerical simulations help to determine optimal surface actuation based flow control strategies to minimise net power consumption while effectively reducing hydrodynamic loads.

Prof Basu’s lab explores transport processes in multiphase systems at different spatio-temporal scales with applications ranging from gas turbine combustion to surface patterning.

The structural acoustics group develops closed form solutions to well-posed problems in the area of soundstructure interaction.
