Dr. Vaibhav Kathavate

About

I am currently associated with the Nanomechanics and Nanoengineering Research Group in the Dept. of Mechanical and Aerospace Engg. at North Carolina State University. My research interest lie at the intersection of experimental mechanics and micro and nanotechnology, defect engg., and corrosion and electrochemistry at the interfaces of adv. crystalline materials. I also have a brief stint of working on assignments such as mechanics of controlled fragmentation of thin films on the ductile substrate and fracture in 2D materials at nano and atomic scale.
