Rate My Professor Hari Arora

Employing techniques such as digital image correlation, particle image velocimetry, high-speed photography, mechanical testing, and manufacturing methods, Professor Arora advances understanding of macro- and micro-scale behaviours. Recent efforts, supported by the Royal Society, EPSRC, and Welsh Government, include real-time digital volume correlation, automated image analysis, and personalised computational lung models to elucidate failure mechanisms for better disease and injury management. He explores materials for energy dissipation in extreme environments. Notable publications include 'A personalised computational model of the impact of COVID-19 on lung function under mechanical ventilation' (Computers in Biology and Medicine, 2024), 'Lung disease characterised via synchrotron radiation micro-CT and digital volume correlation (DVC)' (TrAC Trends in Analytical Chemistry, 2024), 'Experimental investigation of the air blast performance of hybrid composite skinned sandwich panels with X-ray micro-CT damage assessment' (Thin-Walled Structures, 2023), and 'Development of nanocellulose-hyaluronic acid bioinks for 3D bioprinting facial cartilages' (Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications, 2025). In experimental mechanics, he chairs the British Society for Strain Measurement (BSSM) since 2022, after serving as Co-Chair of its Conference Committee (2019-2022) and National Committee Member (2016-present). He collaborates with the Zienkiewicz Centre for Computational Engineering's Computational Biomechanics Group.
