LEAD INVESTIGATOR
Sriram Sundar, PhD
ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
I am an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Tirupati, India. My research interests lie majorly in the field of vibrations and nonlinear dynamics. I have published several research papers in reputed journals and conferences. Currently, my ongoing projects include the dynamic analysis and development of a digital twin framework for automobile brake NVH. My lab resources constitute state-of-the-art equipment for comprehensive vibration analysis (translation and torsion). I lead a diverse research group consisting of enthusiastic students and scholars. Feel free to contact me for collaborations or inquiries.
