Biosketch
I am a Research Scholar in Structural Engineering at the Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Palakkad, specializing in computational mechanics and advanced nonlocal theories. My research focuses on understanding the damage initiation, evolution, and fracture behavior of structures through computational and mechanics-based approaches, with the broader goal of developing robust frameworks for predicting structural failure.
