Shanthraj Pratheek

Dr. Shanthraj Pratheek is a researcher affiliated with multiple institutions including

• Aachen Institute for Advanced Study in Computational Engineering Science at RWTH Aachen University
• Microstructure Physics and Alloy Design at Max Planck Society's Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung GmbH
• The School of Materials at The University of Manchester
• Henry Royce Institute at The University of Manchester
• United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA)

His research focuses on multi-physics computational materials science, particularly in areas like crystal plasticity, phase-field modeling, and microstructure evolution. Key topics include chmo-mechanical coupling, damage mechanics, and multi-scale simulation of metallic systems. He has contributed to the development of the DAMASK simulation software for crystal plasticity and multiphysics problems.

Recent publications highlight his work on

• chmoelastic interactions in alloys
• precipitation kinetics in aluminum systems
• dislocation segregation mechanisms
• multi-sublattice phase modeling
• grain boundary microchemistry
• FFT-based damage solvers

He maintains active collaborations across institutions including University of Manchester, RWTH Aachen, Max Planck Society, and UKAEA, with a focus on computational simulations for materials design and failure analysis.
