Dr. Roy Chowdhury specializes in Structural Engineering with research interests focused on the Stability of Plate and Shell Structures, Mechanics and Design of Thin-walled Structures, and Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Materials. His work bridges traditional structural engineering with cutting-edge nanoscale mechanics, particularly in the analysis of carbon nanotubes and other advanced materials. His research employs both theoretical continuum mechanics approaches and molecular dynamics simulations to understand structural behavior at different scales.

Analysis of his publication record reveals a strong focus on structural mechanics across multiple scales - from macroscopic plate and shell structures to nanoscale carbon nanotubes. His work demonstrates expertise in vibration analysis, buckling phenomena, and stability considerations across these scales. A significant portion of his research involves developing continuum shell models to analyze carbon nanotube behavior, bridging the gap between molecular dynamics simulations and traditional structural engineering principles.

Dr. Roy Chowdhury teaches courses in Stability of Structures, Steel Design, Structural Analysis, and Solid Mechanics. His teaching reflects his research expertise in structural mechanics and stability analysis. While specific information about research grants and advising is not explicitly detailed in the available information, his publication record suggests active research collaboration with international scholars, particularly with researchers at the National University of Singapore.
