Past
Ashish Bhateja: Developed a molecular dynamics code to investigate segregation in heterogeneous systems. Did it with Jayant, while I peeped over their shoulders. Joined GE, found it a black hole, and came back for a Ph.D.
K Ravi Kumar: Created a comprehensive model to analyze AFM data. Now at GE.
Venugopal Punati: Worked on wave propagation in two-dimensional assemblies of disks. Was at TELCO. Now back with me for a Ph. D.
Laxminarsimharao: Worked on developing spectral methods to resolve three-dimensional volume integrals. Has continued on to a Ph. D. with Sovan Lal Das.
Bhanwar Ram Guru: Set up our granular mechanics lab. Did initial experiments on segregation. In Delhi, preparing for the UPSC examination.
Abhinav Dehadrai: Did theoretical modeling and experiments of sloshing and fuel estimation in tanks. Has joined me for a Ph.D.
Shivam: Experiments in granular segregation. Currently with UPSEB, cutting power right next to you.
Shailendra Pal Veer Singh: Worked on formation of rubble-pile binaries. Currently pursuing a Ph.D. at UCSD.
Vipin Agrawal: Worked on capture of rubble-pile satellites. Was at GE, Bangalore. Maybe at U. Maryland, College Park.
Vishal Sharma (with Sovan Lal Das): Application of ring models to tyres. Joined TVS Motors in Bangalore.
Abhishek Srivastava (with Pankaj Wahi): Dynamics of AFM. Currently pursuing a Ph.D. in T&AM at Cornell.
Akshaye Atwe (with Shantanu Bhattacharya): Developed a hyrdogel based valve. Joined Ashoka Leyland.
