About Prashant Kunjam
Simulation and structural engineer with a strong background in nonlinear finite element analysis, computational mechanics, and simulation‑driven structural design. I develop and validate high‑fidelity FE models in ANSYS APDL, ABAQUS, and COMSOL, with applications to complex composite and bioinspired structures.My work integrates parametric simulation workflows, advanced contact modeling, and experimental validation to generate design‑relevant insights for R&D teams. I’m particularly interested in roles involving structural simulation, advanced CAE, and applied research, and I am actively exploring full‑time opportunities starting in fall 2026.
