Dr. Vijayalaxmi Sonkamble

About

I am currently working as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at IIT Bombay in the area of advanced hydrogen storage systems and composite pressure vessel technologies for sustainable energy applications. My research focuses on hydrogen storage, structural integrity assessment, fracture mechanics, finite element modeling, composite materials, and AI-assisted engineering approaches for lightweight hydrogen infrastructure.

My doctoral research at IIT Bombay involved experimental and numerical investigation of fracture evolution mechanisms in advanced metallic systems. I have experience in interdisciplinary research integrating materials science, mechanical engineering, computational simulation, and sustainable energy technologies.

My long-term research vision is to contribute toward the development of safe, lightweight, and intelligent hydrogen storage systems for sustainable mobility and clean energy applications through international collaboration and high-impact research.
