Structures that are remembered are no more the ones that last for centuries but the ones that accomplish more in just a few years. Usability,is the term of the new age,from folding to collapsible,these structures come with varied applications.
Why should a structure stay idle all its lifetime?
Cant we use it better?
Why shouldn't it be part and parcel of any structure today?..
These are the questions that will be addressed by leading professors and experts from all over the world.
The workshop will be held for 3 days including
It would open your minds to a new dimension of Innovation which INDIA hasn't witnessed. It is directed at everybody with interest in the field, any engineer,any student..... for if you want to Change The World around you, Register at the Earliest!
He received his bachelor's degree from the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (Chennai, India) in 1989, master's degree from the University of Toledo (Toledo, OH, USA) in 1991, and doctoral degree from the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, MI, USA) in 1994—all in mechanical engineering. He was a post-doctoral research associate in the Microsystems Technologies Laboratory in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge, MA, USA) for 18 months during 1995-96 and then joined the University of Pennsylvania as an assistant professor of mechanical engineering and applied mechanics in 1996. He was promoted to associate professorship with tenure in 2002. He spent his sabbatical year in 2003 as a visiting professor in the engineering department of the University of Cambridge (Cambridge, UK) for six months, in the mechanical engineering department of the Indian Institute of Science (Bangalore, India) for three months, and in ESAT-MICAS (Microelectronics and Sensors, Electrical Engineering), Katholieke Universiteit (Leuven, Belgium) for three months. In 2004, he moved to the Indian Institute of Science (Bangalore, India) as an associate professor of mechanical engineering and as a faculty affiliate of the centre for product design and manufacturing.
Ananthasuresh's research interests include compliant mechanisms, microsystems (MEMS), multi-disciplinary design optimization, topology optimization, microfabrication, mechanism design and kinematics, protein modeling and design, micromanipulation, and biomechanics and bio-design. He has more than 125 publications out of which 52 are journal papers. He is also the author of six book-chapters and an edited book entitled "Optimal Synthesis Methods for MEMS" published by Kluwer. He has three patents and three best paper awards at international conferences.
