معرفی
Ajeet Kumar is a Visiting Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Cornell University, affiliated with the College of Arts and Sciences. He received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Cornell University in 2010. His research focuses on modeling slender structures such as rods and plates, with expertise in continuum mechanics, multiscale mechanics, and computational methods. Key areas include rod mechanics for nanomaterials, elastoplasticity, fluid-structure interactions, and metamaterial design. He teaches MATH 1120: Calculus II in Spring 2025.
Research Interests: Kumar’s work combines theoretical and computational approaches to study nonlinear elasticity in rods, electro-mechanical systems, and advanced material characterization. His contributions span biomedical applications (e.g., bone fracture analysis), nanotechnology (e.g., carbon nanotubes), and fluid dynamics (e.g., flexible filaments in Stokes flow). Recent efforts emphasize multiscale modeling and singularity-free numerical frameworks for complex rod systems.
Publications Trends: Recent work highlights biomechanical applications (e.g., finite element analysis of bone fixation devices), fluid-structure interactions, and computational methods for anisotropic materials. He explores both fundamental rod mechanics and applied challenges in material science and engineering.
