S Ganga Prasath

Assistant Professor at IIT Madras

I am currently a faculty in the Department of Applied Mechanics & Biomedical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras. My research interests lie at the interface of robotics, behaviour and soft-mechanics. You can check out the INTERFACE lab page for more details.

I am deeply interested in climate change outreach and lead an initiative Project Climate with a student group Vivarta (more updates on this soon).

Outside work, I have a set of projects that keep me busy. You can access their progress over at the projects page. Write to me if you are interested in collaborating or would like to know more about any of these topics.
