University of Southampton, UK

Biography:
Atul Bhaskar graduated from IIT Kanpur in Mechanical Engineering. Following this, he obtained his master's degree in Applied Mechanics (IIT Delhi) and a PhD (University of Cambridge). Before joining Southampton in 1999, he taught at IISc Bangalore and IIT Delhi. He has also worked in the industry in the mechanical design and aerospace sectors prior to joining the academia. His current research interests are in the areas of computational and theoretical solid mechanics applied to structures & materials where he has published extensively in the leading journals and international journals, in addition to being awarded several patents. His previous and current research has been supported by EPSRC, BBSRC, EU, industry, Royal Academy of Engineering, Leverhulme Trust, etc. He has been a recipient of several awards and honours such as the George Stevenson Prize and Medal of the IMechE and the Leverhulme Senior Research Fellowship of the Royal Academy of Engineering. He leads a team of over ten researchers working on problems in the aerospace, automotive, marine and biomedical sectors, with current research funding over £2M.

Research Interests:
Dynamics and Vibrations: Linear vibrations of discrete and continuous systems, wave propagation, experimental modal analysis, nonlinear vibrations of composite plates; damping in vibrations: analytical, numerical and experimental aspects; random vibrations, crashworthiness, dynamics of gyroelastic continua.
