Welcome to the Kulkarni research group. The focus of our research is on understanding the mechanical response of materials from fundamental scales using statistical mechanics, continuum mechanics, atomistic simulations and multi-scale modeling approaches. Some current research topics include:
- Statistical mechanics of active matter
- Electromechanical behavior of soft materials
- Statistical mechanics of fluctuating interfaces
- Time-scaling in atomistic simulations
- Mechanical properties of nanocrystalline intermetallics
