Our expertise lies in musculoskeletal biomechanics and the mechanics of cellular materials. Our research interests lie at the interface of biology and engineering with the goals to investigate biomedical issues using mathematical and engineering principles and to explore the fundamentals of bio-inspired design for engineering systems and structures. In this journey, we apply a combined approach of theory, simulations and experiments to study the mechanical response at multiple length scales. We are primarily studying pathophysiology of osteoarthritis (OA) and osteoporosis from the biomechanics perspective so that the biomechanical factors can further be transferred for developing engineering approaches and therapeutic interventions for the stated pathologies. We also study the natural and architected cellular materials to develop new class of engineering cellular structure exhibiting superior and tailored structural properties. Our research interests lie in the following areas:
