Biography
Dr Tanmoy Chatterjee is a Lecturer in Resilient Design in the School of Mechanical Engineering Sciences (Fall 2022 onwards) and a Fellow of the Surrey Institute for People-Centred AI. Previous to joining the University of Surrey, he was a postdoctoral researcher in the Aerospace Structures Research Group at Swansea University (2018-22) and was funded by the £5M EPSRC programme grant 'DigiTwin: Digital Twins for Improved Dynamic Design' (https://digitwin.ac.uk/). Although, his primary research at Swansea involved model reduction, dynamic sub-structuring, uncertainty quantification and data-driven physics discovery of built-up/jointed structures, he also actively collaborated towards investigating the effect of manufacturing variability on the dynamic behaviour and wave propagation of 2D lattices/metamaterials. He completed his PhD on developing computational meta-models for risk/reliability analysis and robust design optimization of structural systems from the Department of Civil Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. He has received awards/scholarships from the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR) and Ministry of Education, Government of India for pursuing his master's (2011-13) and PhD (2014-18). Tanmoy has two years of industrial experience and has worked in the structural design (2013-14) and construction sectors (2010-11) before choosing an academic career.
