Biography

Jagan Selvaraj is a Lecturer in Composites Engineering at the University of Glasgow, part of the James Watt School of Engineering. He is a member of the Materials Manufacturing Research Group (MMRG). He completed his PhD in Advanced Numerical Methods for Modelling Impact on Composite Materials at the University of Bristol, associated with the Rolls-Royce Composites University Technology Centre in 2022. Jagan has held an EPSRC Doctoral Prize Fellowship focused on data-driven modelling of composite mechanics and has been awarded an EPSRC IAA grant for process modelling. His research interests include data-driven physics-based modelling of composite materials' mechanical performance, focusing on impact loading, fracture, and damage mechanics. He also investigates processes aimed at minimizing manufacturing defects and enhancing automation. Jagan's use of data-driven methods emphasizes model-order reduction and machine learning applications.
