Saleema Panda

Saleema Panda is a Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering & Construction at Atlantic Technological University (ATU) Sligo, Ireland. She specializes in structural dynamics, nonlinear finite element analysis, granular flow mechanics, and earthquake engineering. Her work bridges computational methods with practical applications in resilient infrastructure design and material science.

Education: PhD in Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis (National Institute of Technology Rourkela, 2019). She has authored over 13 peer-reviewed articles addressing topics such as seismic resilience, granular segregation control, and advanced finite element methodologies.

Research interests focus on: (1) Dynamic behavior of stiffened plates under extreme loads (2) Granular flow dynamics in industrial systems (3) Soft computing techniques for seismic prediction (4) Sustainable materials innovation. Notable contributions include hybrid TMD-TLD systems for MDOF structures and recycled plastic-based acoustic materials.

Collaboration highlights include granular flow studies with experts like D.S. Tan, and structural dynamics research with A. Pandit and others. Active in PhD supervision and has contributed to 49 citations with an h-index of 49.

Labs/Teams: Engaged in computational mechanics and granular materials research groups at ATU Sligo.
