Jagan Selvaraj

Dr. Jagan Selvaraj is a Lecturer in Composites Engineering at the James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow, and a member of the Materials and Manufacturing Research Group (MMRG). His research focuses on data-driven and physics-based modeling of composites for mechanical performance, with emphasis on impact loading, fracture, damage mechanics, and process modeling.

• Education: PhD in Advanced Composites (Aerospace Engineering) from University of Bristol (2022), MEng in Structural Engineering from IIT Kharagpur (2014)

Jagan's work investigates:

• Efficient data-driven methods for composite damage analysis in large structures
• Process simulation to minimize manufacturing defects and enhance automation
• Consolidation effects on structural mechanics
• Model-order reduction and machine learning techniques

Scientific awards:

• EPSRC Doctoral Prize Fellowship (2022-2024)
• EPSRC IAA grant (2024)

He leads grants totaling £95,000 and seeks PhD students for research on:

• Multiscale modeling of composite damage mechanisms
• Process modeling for automated fiber placement optimization
