Anushka’s research focuses on novel techniques for multiscale characterization of deformation and failure of polymers and composites using innovative terahertz-based methods. These novel techniques can be broadly applied to experimental solid mechanics of soft materials, nondestructive and non-contact quality assurance and inspection, and inline manufacturing of polymers and composites. She will leverage state-of-the-art computational and data analytics techniques to empower these novel approaches and improve the transnational potential.
