About

Dr Valmik M. Mahajan is a researcher and academician in the field of Civil Engineering, with expertise in Structural Engineering, composite and sandwich structures, finite element analysis, sustainable construction materials, and environmental engineering. His research focuses on the mechanics of layered composite structures, higher-order deformation theories, advanced numerical modelling, sustainable infrastructure, and innovative water treatment technologies.

Dr Mahajan has made significant contributions to the analysis of laminated and sandwich composite arches using higher-order shear and normal deformation theories. His research has been published in reputed national and international journals, including Curved and Layered Structures, Forces in Mechanics, Mechanics of Advanced Materials and Structures, and other peer-reviewed publications. His work has advanced the understanding of static and dynamic behaviour, thickness stretching effects, and transverse normal strain in composite structural systems.

His research interests also extend to sustainable construction materials, 3D-printed housing, graphene oxide-incorporated cementitious composites, ferrocement, and water and wastewater treatment technologies. His interdisciplinary research reflects a commitment to developing innovative and sustainable engineering solutions for modern infrastructure and environmental challenges.

In recognition of his research potential, Dr Mahajan was awarded the BCUD ASPIRE Research Mentorship Grant by Savitribai Phule Pune University, receiving research funding of ₹3.0 lakh to support advanced research activities. He was also honoured with the Promising Engineers Award 2025 by the Institution of Engineers (India), Ahilyanagar Local Centre, in recognition of his outstanding contributions to engineering research and academic excellence.

Dr Mahajan is actively involved in research and innovation, with eight design patents granted and published, while three additional design patent applications are currently under examination, demonstrating his commitment to translating research outcomes into practical engineering innovations.

He has authored and co-authored several peer-reviewed journal articles, conference papers, and book chapters, with research contributions spanning structural mechanics, composite materials, sustainable construction, and environmental engineering. His publications continue to receive citations from the international research community, reflecting the growing impact of his scholarly work.
