Research on auxetic structures, metamaterials and compliant mechanisms. Research interest in a nutshell: Study of the mechanics of metamaterials (deformation behaviour, elastic instabilities); embedding physical intelligence into otherwise passive mechanisms/systems through geometrical/material manipulation achieving spontaneous shape-reconfiguration and structural control. Developing, through this process, versatile systems for soft-robotic, biomedical and space applications. Works on MATLAB, Solidworks, Abaqus CAE; Experience with experimental techniques of Digital Image Correlation, Thermal Imaging; Proficient in LaTeX and Origin graphing.Personally, a tablist and a musician mad over Indian percussions; An in-training Voice-over artist.
