Vaibhav Bihani-2023 Runner up

I am Vaibhav Bihani, an Advanced Standing B. tech. and M.tech student of Civil and Structural Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IITD). I have been working at Multiphysics & Multiscale Mechanics Research Group (M3RG) at IITD under Prof. N.M. Anoop Krishnan since my sophomore year. We work primarily on disordered materials such as glasses, cement, and nanomaterials using various computational methods varying from molecular dynamics, finite element methods and deep learning. I wish to continue my research on molecular simulations, machine learning, and the mechanics of materials to improve the simulations, optimize materials, and develop new materials with targeted behavior for the benefit of society. I enjoy reading, running, cycling and spending time with my family in my free time.
