About the authors
Dr. H. S. Bharath is Assistant Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Siddaganga Institute of Technology, Tumakuru, Karnataka, India. He obtained his B.E. (Mechanical) and M.Tech. (Manufacturing Science and Engineering) from Visvesvaraya Technological University, Belagavi. He completed his Ph.D. at the National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK), Surathkal, Mangaluru. His major research interests include 3D printing, sandwich composites, and syntactic foams. He has published tenpapers in reputed international journals.
Dr. Pavana Prabhakar is Charles G. Salmon Assistant Professor in the Departments of Mechanical Engineering and Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where she leads the Manufacturing and Mechanics Lab (MaMeL) with research focused on advanced manufacturing and mechanics of lightweight composite materials. Her work involves conducting foundational research on mechanics-based materials designs (computationally and experimentally) of composites and their fabrication by advancing relevant manufacturing techniques. Her research occurs at the intersection of solid mechanics, advanced manufacturing, materials science, and computational science. Her current and previous research involves extensive computational and experimental investigation of failure and damage in lightweight composites for structural applications. Her expertise includes micromechanical and structural analysis of composites using computational modeling, understanding the effect of extreme environments on the microstructure and mechanical properties, and failure analysis of structural materials using novel approaches. Dr. Prabhakar has published more than 30 journal articles in highly regarded journals. She received prestigious awards like NSF CAREER in 2021, ONR Young Investigator Program Award in 2019, and AFOSR Young Investigator Program Award in 2015. She also received the Destech Young Composites Research Award in 2019 and Ph.D. Research Scholarship Award in 2012, both from the American Society for Composites, for outstanding composite materials research focused on composite materials.
Dr. Suhasini Gururaja is Associate Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Auburn University, USA. Prof. Suhasini’s research focuses on a major theme in advanced composites that correlates the material microstructure with its performance. Prof. Suhasini’s research group—Advanced Materials and Processing Laboratory (AMPL)—explores issues at the intersection of composite microstructure, composite manufacturing, and structural integrity. She has achieved this through developing and leading intertwined research activities in damage development and progression, process modeling, and advanced manufacturing of composites. Before joining academia, Dr. Suhasini worked at GE Global Research (Bengaluru, India) and Boeing Commercial Airlines (Everett, WA, USA).
