Ravinder Bhattoo

Hi! I’m Ravinder Bhattoo, assistant professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Indore. My research focus areas are machine learning-aided structural design, multiscale material modeling, physics-informed machine learning, graph neural networks, dynamic fracture and crack propagation on ballistic impact, molecular dynamics, and peridynamics. Previously, I have worked as a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and as an early doc scholar in the Department of Civil Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. I earned my Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi in January 2023, and my B. Tech. in Civil Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee in June 2015. My Ph.D. research focused on data-driven modeling and physics-informed machine learning for glass discovery.

Recent work

PeriDyn is a numerical simulation software designed to solve peridynamics problems. It is written in the Julia programming language, and offers a high level of flexibility and speed. link
