Research Interests

My research lies at the intersection of advanced mechanics and applied mathematics, focusing on developing robust computational models for complex physical systems.

Computational Solid Mechanics

Analysis of stress, deformation, vibration, and buckling in nano and micro-scale structures using advanced beam theories.

Applied Mathematics

Development of analytical and semi-analytical methods (Homotopy Analysis, Differential Quadrature) for solving differential equations.

Mathematical Modelling

Modelling of biological systems, fractional calculus applications, and wave propagation in complex media.

Uncertainty Quantification

Handling fuzzy and interval uncertainties in structural parameters to predict reliable bounds for dynamic responses.
