Dr. Sravendra Rana

Dr. Sravendra Rana, Senior Associate Professor at the School of Advanced Engineering, UPES, is at the forefront of developing self-healing polymer composites tailored for the aeronautical industry. His innovative approach involves utilizing naturally derived biomolecules, such as castor oil, to create materials capable of autonomously repairing microcracks. This advancement not only enhances the safety and durability of aircraft components but also addresses environmental concerns associated with traditional catalysts. Dr. Rana's work, supported by the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB), signifies a significant leap in sustainable aerospace materials.
