Vikas Srivastava Source Confirmed

OverviewAI-generated summary

Dr. Vikas Srivastava is an Associate Professor of Engineering and Director of the Graduate Program for Biomedical Engineering at John Brown University. He earned a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from M.I.T. in 2010, following degrees from the University of Rhode Island and the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur. Prior to joining John Brown University in 2018, Srivastava held multiple positions at ExxonMobil, including Senior Technical Professional Advisor in Mechanics of Materials.

Srivastava's research centers on constitutive and computational models, coupled with experiments, to characterize material behavior in extreme conditions and address challenges in mechanics and biomedical science. His work encompasses innovative concrete reinforcement materials, semiconductor materials and devices, and surface and thin film phenomena. Recent studies involve physics-informed neural networks for modeling finite-strain plasticity and simulation-trained convolutional neural networks for predicting embedded crack characteristics from ultrasound measurements. Srivastava also investigates the role of diseased filum terminale in Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. His primary research focus lies in developing models to describe material behavior under extreme environments.
