Responsibilities

  • Vice-Chairperson, ERP (for academic module)

Research Areas

  • Computational Solid Mechanics
  • Energy Storage
  • Lithium-ion battery modelling
  • Flow through deformable confinements
I work on the mathematical modelling of various situations involving fluid mechanics and solid mechanics, coupled occasionally with bits of electrochemistry. Currently, the focus of my work is investigating issues of diffusion, growth and stress in silicon anode particles of lithium-ion batteries and energy storage materials involving chemomechanical modelling within the broad domain of computational solid mechanics.
