Abhilash Awasthi successfully completed his thesis defense, titled 'DEVELOPMENT OF AN IN SILICO SURGICAL SIMULATION PLATFORM FOR BIOMECHANICAL ASSESSMENT OF BRAIN'. Rajnish Kumar won this year's DeLuca Foundation award for Human Motion Science related research. Prof Roy has been awarded the AGC Jancare Award and the 2024 ROBERT AND MAUDE GLEDDEN VISITING FELLOWSHIP from the Institute of Advanced Studies of the University of Western Australia. He was also invited to deliver a guest lecture on 'Computational Science in Design and Robotics' at Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi.
Research Experience
Research areas include Biomechanics, Computational/Generative Design of Engineering systems, Soft Robotics, Data-driven discovery in mechanistic neuroscience, Brain-machine interface in wearable robotics, Data-driven computational mechanics, Digital Twin in medicine, and Differentiable Programming.
Background
Research interests: Human-Centered Scientific AI/Computational Science & Mechanics of Wearable Robotics; AI in Human-Centered dynamical systems, AI in Biomechanics & Biomechanical Systems. The fundamental concepts which unify all our research works are mechanical 'deformation' and material 'softness'.
