Research

Dr. Banerjee's current research focuses are:

• Precursor/Incubation of damage prediction in Metallic Alloys, Polymer Matrix Composite (PMC) for aerospace applications and Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC) for gas power & nuclear power applications at high temperatures using QUIC
• Predictive multi-scale models for pathogenic colonies to predict and quantify their pathogenicity (i.e. secretion of toxin) using Q-ACT
• Ultrasonic Guided wave based health monitoring for aerospace structures
• Understanding ultrasonic wave field in periodic structures to design and fabricate phononic metamaterials and phononic sensors.

Dr. Banerjee's other research interests include Smart & Adaptive Structures, Material Assessment, Multifunctional Metamaterials, Health Monitoring, Characterization of Structural, Biological Materials.
