About Subhrangsu Saha
As a Graduate Research Assistant in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, I have over four years of experience in computational mechanics research. My work, guided by Prof. Oscar Lopez-Pamies, focuses on developing theoretical and computational frameworks for understanding fatigue fracture in brittle materials. I specialize in computational solid mechanics, fracture mechanics, and phase-field modeling, with expertise in tools like FEniCSX, ABAQUS. In addition to my research, I have contributed to graduate education as a Teaching Assistant for Structural Mechanics and Finite Element Methods courses. Recognized on the university\'s List of Teachers Ranked Excellent by their students, I am committed to advancing knowledge in material behavior and applying theoretical insights to complex engineering challenges. I am actively seeking positions in the field of computational solid mechanics following the completion of my PhD.
