Welcome to Prof. Navin Kumar Research Group, IIT Ropar

Our research interests are related to vibration and noise, fault diagnosis and condition monitoring, biomechanics of hard and soft tissue, biomedical instrumentation, smart structures and materials. Our labs are dedicated in the area of Bio and Nano materials engineering with a focus on the combined experimental characterization as well as computational analysis of mechanical properties, stress/strain, and microstructure of engineering and biological materials and their applications in advancing manufacturing and materials processing technologies, engineering design analyses, and biomedical sciences and engineering. Another lab is focusing on investigating and developing advanced methods for active and passive noise and vibration control systems. All of the experiments are designed to demonstrate physical principles and applications to give experience with widely-used tools and techniques in sound and vibration engineering.
