Welcome!
Our research focuses on developing constitutive and computational models, integrated with experimental data, to accurately describe material behavior in extreme environments and address key challenges in mechanics and biomedical science. The Srivastava Research Group is actively contributing to the following (often interconnected) interdisciplinary research areas:
(1) Materials in extreme environments
(2) Polymer damage and fracture
(3) Mechanobiology of cell injury
(4) Nature-inspired architected materials
(5) Biomaterial innovations for improved cancer therapies
(6) Role and integration of physics-informed machine learning in complex mechanics problems
