Dr. Bhakti N Patel, a doctorate from Applied Mechanics department, IIT Madras has worked in the field of mechanical modelling of micro-cantilevers. Her research was focused on developing models for studying the mechanical behaviour of micro-cantilevers. Material and geometric non-linearity was considered in the study. Dr. Bhakti's current reseacrh interets are focused on studying micro-plates that are extensively used in the field of MEMS based pressure sensors. The MEMS pressure sensors are extensively used in aerospace and medical industry.
