Khizar Rouf

Background:

Khizar Rouf is currently a PhD student in the Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering department at the University of Waterloo. His current research focuses on high strain rate constitutive modeling, experimentation and crash analysis of fiber reinforced polymer composites. He graduated with an MS degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics Engineering from Purdue University, USA, where he was a member of the Multiscale Structural Mechanics group. During his MS degree, he worked on several research projects related to the multiscale structural modeling of slender and thin heterogeneous structures.

Title of Research: Strain-rate dependent multi-scale constitutive modelling of fiber reinforced composite materials
