Nominator's project description

Professor Kundu has made significant and original contributions in nondestructive testing techniques for material charaterization by ultrasonics and acoustic microscopy, elastic wave propagation in multilayered solids, faracture machenics, computational mechanics, gemechanics and numerical modeling. Application areas of his research include aerospace materials, civil and structural materials, geomaterials, electronic as well as biological meterials. His research at the University Frankfurt will focus on measurements of mechanical parameters of multilayered structures in biological cells and tissues using acoustic microscopy.
