B. Gangadhara Prusty is a professor for the University of New South Wales Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering and leads the School's Advanced Structures and Materials group. He is also the deputy director of the Centre for Sustainable Materials Research Technology at the University of New South Wales. His research strength is in the mechanics of composites at nano, micro, and macro scales, embodied with the latest analysis and modeling techniques blended with material characterization. Gangadhara has already contributed to a number of fundamental developments in the field of mechanics of composite materials and structures, such as the novel finite element formulation for stiffened structures, in situ monitoring of robotic composite manufacturing, hierarchical multiscale submodeling approach for the onset theory, efficient modeling of barely visible impact damage in post-buckled structures, robust design optimization for layups for shape-adaptive composite propellers, and mitigating creep and cracking in thermoplastic composite welding. Professor Prusty has led a number of major internationally collaborative projects, such as Systems for Crashworthiness and Robust Optimisation for Imperfection Sensitive Composite Launcher Structures at the University of New South Wales, through external funding. His research is closely aligned with the emerging research strength of next-generation materials and technologies at the University of New South Wales.
