Biography
Prof. Sundararaghavan develops multi-scale computational methods for polycrystalline alloys, fiber reinforced composites, metallic foams, and ultra-high temperature ceramics to model the effect of microstructure on the overall deformation, fatigue, failure, thermal transport and oxidation response. Recent packages developed include a fully parallel multiscale deformation simulator for optimization of microstructure-sensitive properties in polycrystalline alloys and a new finite element homogenization approach for modeling oxidative degradation in high-temperature fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composites. He has made seminal contributions towards the use of multiscale models for accelerated “microstructure-sensitive design” including development of data mining methods for microstructures and reduced order techniques for graphical visualization of microstructure-process-property relationships.
