Dr. Aman Khurana

About

Currently, Iam working as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Indore. Prior to that, I worked as a Post-doctoral Researcher in Intelligent Materials Systems Lab, Saarland University, Saarbrucken, Germany. My research is mainly focussing on developing smart material-based structures. I have received my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering (Specialized in Continuum Mechanics) from IIT-Roorkee in 2022.

My main areas of interest include Soft materials mechanics, Dynamics of minimum energy structures made up of electroactive polymers. Iam a highly motivated dynamic scholar and fully dedicated to the original research.
