Romesh Batra

Romesh Batra is an Affiliate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Mechanics at Virginia Tech's College of Engineering. He contributes to research and academic activities with a focus on computational and applied mechanics.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Mechanics and Materials, The Johns Hopkins University, 1972
• M.A.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering, University of Waterloo, 1969
• B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Punjabi University, India, 1968

His research interests lie in computational solid mechanics, particularly in solving thermomechanical problems involving large deformations and material nonlinearities using finite element and meshless methods. He also investigates adiabatic shear banding, penetration and impact phenomena, metal forming processes, and the mechanics of smart materials and carbon nanotubes. These areas reflect a deep engagement with advanced computational techniques and material behavior under extreme conditions.
