About iMEMS Lab

---

iMEMS Lab group is a research group led by Prof. D. Roy Mahapatra, working on various integrative aspects of novel material systems, structures, and functions and the exploration of new phenomena which could be engineered for technological benefit. The applied aspects encompass areas of materials and structural design, advanced manufacturing, testing and digital-physical integration processes. At the core of the group’s research, there is a strong emphasis on theoretical, applied mathematical, and physical modelling paradigms. Special interests are in the fundamental problems arising in the fields of mechanics of materials, structural dynamics, acoustic and electromagnetic wave propagations, multiscale and multiphysics phenomena, outstanding problems at the interfaces of physics and chemistry of materials, and problems arising from mathematical modeling paradigm in complex materials and structures. A major part of the research activity aims to translate fundamental understanding into integrated systems involving mechanical, electronic, and photonic sensing, control, actuation, signal processing, and diagnostics for application in aerospace, energy, and bio-engineering systems. The lab facilities are located in the Department of Aerospace Engineering, IISc, Bengaluru.
