The Slender Systems Lab (S2L) at IIT Madras studies the mechanics of slender systems across scales, from DNA and chromatin to nanorods, nanotubes, wires, cables, and other engineering structures. We combine molecular simulations, coarse-grained modeling, continuum mechanics, finite element methods, scientific computing, and data-driven approaches to understand and predict the behavior of these systems in nature and engineering. For more details about our research, please visit the Research page.
Join the Slender Systems Lab – Openings
We welcome motivated students interested in mechanics, scientific computing and machine learning. If you enjoy combining theory, computation, and data-driven approaches to understand complex physical systems, we would be happy to hear from you. Research opportunities are available across the topics described on our Research page.
