معرفی
Hareesh Tippur is the McWane Chair Professor and Associate Chair for Graduate Studies in Mechanical Engineering at Auburn University's Samuel Ginn College of Engineering. His research focuses on experimental mechanics, fracture behavior of materials, and additive manufacturing. He leads projects funded by NASA and the FAA, including a $750,000 NASA EPSCoR grant for structural integrity studies in additive manufacturing and a $3M FAA grant for 3D-printed aircraft components. Tippur holds a Ph.D. from SUNY-Stony Brook, an M.S. from the Indian Institute of Science, and a B.S. from Bangalore University.
His research interests span mechanics of materials, dynamic fracture analysis, composite materials, and high strain-rate behavior. He pioneered the Digital Gradient Sensing method for material characterization, enabling precise measurements of stress gradients and crack dynamics. Tippur’s work bridges fundamental mechanics with industrial applications, particularly in aerospace and biomedical materials.
Notable achievements include the Creative Research and Scholarship Award from Auburn University. He collaborates across disciplines through centers like the National Center for Additive Manufacturing Excellence (NCAME), advancing AM qualification standards and failure analysis techniques. His labs specialize in transparent material testing, polymer composites, and high-speed deformation studies using advanced optical techniques.
