Sreejithe Pillai

Sreejithe Pillai serves as a Visiting Lecturer in the Department of Engineering Technology and Industrial Distribution at Texas A&M University, with office THOM 118H and contact information sreejith@tamu.edu / 979-458-6931.

His educational qualifications include:

• Ph.D., Mechanical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Madras (2023)
• M.S., Mechanical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Madras (2023)
• B.S., Mechanical Engineering, Amrita University (2016)

Dr. Pillai's research program centers on advanced material modeling through constitutive frameworks and continuum mechanics, with specialized focus on additive manufacturing processes for polymers and biological materials. He investigates residual stress prediction, warpage mechanisms, and shrinkage phenomena in 3D-printed components, extending these principles to soft tissue mechanics and colloidal suspension printing (including cement applications). His theoretical work integrates thermodynamic frameworks with experimental validation to solve complex manufacturing challenges.

Analysis of his 2021-2025 publications reveals a cohesive research trajectory advancing additive manufacturing science. Starting with foundational thermodynamic models for amorphous polymers (2021), he expanded to crystallizing polymer systems through a comprehensive two-part series (2023), culminating in stent printing simulations. Recent work (2023-2025) diversifies into brain tissue viscoelasticity and elastomer cyclic loading behavior while addressing industrial-scale challenges like polycarbonate plate warping. This progression demonstrates consistent innovation in bridging theoretical thermodynamics with practical manufacturing solutions.
