Research Department:

Dr. Behera joined SRM Research Institute & Department of Mathematics, SRM University as an Assistant Professor in August 2016. Before joining SRM University, he was working as a post-doctoral research associate at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong. He earned his PhD degree from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. Dr. Behera received his two MSc degrees in Mathematics and Computational Finance from Ravenshaw University and Institute of Mathematics and Applications Bhubaneswar, respectively. He has taught wide range of mathematics courses in two Engineering colleges in Odisha more than seven years.
Dr. Behera’s main research area is fluid structure interaction problems. The primary focus of his research is to develop analytic/numeric mathematical tools to deal with a class of wave-structure interaction problems arising in the broad field of coastal engineering. He is an expert to use various mathematical methods such as eigenfunction expansion methods, least square approximation method, Green’s function technique, mild-slope approximation, boundary element methods and other appropriate numerical methods to deal with the problems at hand. Apart from fluid structure interaction problem, he is also interested to work in financial derivatives.
