专家简介：

Professor T. Kundu received his bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur in 1979. His MS and PhD were from the Department of Mechanics and Structures at the University of California, Los Angeles in 1980 and 1983, respectively. He joined the Department of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics of the University of Arizona as an Assistant Professor in August 1983 and was promoted to full professor in 1994.

A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE RESEARCH INTEREST

Dr. Kundu has made significant and original contributions in both basic and applied research in structural health monitoring (SHM) and nondestructive testing techniques (NDT) for material characterization by ultrasonic and electromagnetic(THz radiation) techniques, acoustic microscopy, elastic wave propagation in multilayered solids, fracture mechanics, computational mechanics, and numerical modeling. Application areas of his research findings include aerospace materials, civil and structural materials, geomaterials, electronic as well as biological materials. His research has received international acclaim. He has won the Humboldt research prize (also known as the Senior Scientist Award) from Germany. He has been involved in both experimental and theoretical research. He has developed a new mesh-free semi-analytical/numerical technique called distributed point source method (DPSM) in collaboration with his French colleagues. This technique has been found to be superior to the finite element method (FEM) for solving many ultrasonic, electrostatic and electro-magnetic problems. He has co-authored the first book on DPSM.

Dr. Kundu has collaborated with European scientists on theoretical and experimental research on engineering and biological materials. Most of his European collaborations have been funded by foreign funding agencies in Germany (Alexander von Humboldt Foundation), Belgium (NATO, North Atlantic Treaty Organization), France (French Ministry of Education), Denmark (Aarhus University Medical School ), Spain, Poland, Sweden and Switzerland. Among domestic sources, the National Science Foundation and the Air Force Research Laboratory have provided the lion share of his research funding. Because of his work on biological cell characterization he received the prestigious Humboldt Research Prize from Germany, also known as the Senior Scientist Award.
