Education

HARVARD UNIVERsITY: Ph.D. Engineering Sciences in 2001

My PhD thesis deals with issues of instability, ill-posedness and regularization in dynamic frictional sliding at an interface between dissimilar elastic solids.


Indian Institute of Science: M.Sc. (Engg) mechanical engineering in 1995

My thesis was on asymptotic and finite element analyses of dynamic crack growth at an interface between an elastic solid and an elastic-plastic solid

College of Engineering, Guindy: B.E. Mechanical Engineering in 1993

My final year project was on development of a program for the finite element analysis of laminated composite plates
