Goutam Ghoshal is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Engineering Mechanics at University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He received his M.S and Ph.D. in Engineering Mechanics at University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA in 2003 and 2008 respectively and his B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering at Pune University, India in 2000. He is presently doing his research under the supervision of Dr. Joseph A. Turner. His research interest is in the area of ultrasonic wave propagation in heterogeneous media.

Recent Activities

Research Interest:

  1. Experimental ultrasonics for non-destructive evaluation and materials characterization
  2. Elastic wave propagation: complex media, anisotropic media, scattering, radiative transfer theory
  3. Nonlinear wave equation, localization, diffusion equation
  4. Computational methods: finite element method and Monte Carlo simulation of elastic wave propagation in heterogeneous media
  5. Ultrasonic scattering in biological materials such as bone and tissue
  6. Vibration of structures
