Welcome to the T0CoDE lab, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, IIT Hyderabad. We focus on the following interdisciplinary research areas:

 

  • Multi-disciplinary/-physics/-scale topology optimization

  • Compliant mechanisms

  • Inverse problems

  • Computational contact mechanics

  • Computational mechanics

  • Soft robots ​

​​

in our research works. We develop novel approaches for solving various design optimization problems related to different applications using topology optimization. In addition, solving problems pertaining to computational mechanics and computational contact mechanics falls within our purview. Our research group is constantly looking for bright and motivated students to join and work with us. Feel free to navigate different sections of the lab's website to learn more about our research activities.
