I am currently a Master's student at Indian Instiute of Science (IISc) in Professor D. Roy Mahapatra's IMEMS group. My undergraduation is in Mechanical Engineering from O.P. Jindal University, Raigarh. I have 3 years of research experience in the field of materials modeling and finite element methods. My research interest lies in the field of computational material science, optimization techniques and machine learning.

Check out my work. My research interest is in the area of computational material science, numerical methods,and machine learning. Here is the overview of my master's research work.
1. Polygonal Finite Element Method: I developed a novel numerical integration technique for convex polygonal finite elements with arbitrary number of sides.
Unlike other available numerical integration methods for polygonal elements, this method reduces the computational cost by reducing the number of integrations points and eliminating the further discretization on a given polygonal domain.
2. Statistical modeling of microstructure: I also worked on developing a novel and more direct method for reconstruction of alloy microstructure using statistical measures of an actual sample.
This method generates two-dimensional synthetic microstructure consisting random polygonal-shaped grains similar to a real microstructure.
I used the simulated microstructures further used to study the effective macroscopic properties and structure-property correlations.
