I am G. Saravana Kumar, Professor at Department of Engineering Design, IIT Madras. I teach graduate and undergraduate courses in the areas of functional and conceptual design, design for manufacturing and assembly, computer aided design, optimization and rapid product development.

As a scholar, my research aims at development of representational and computational tools for virtual and physical prototyping applied to arrive at solutions to design problems. Some of the specific research areas include CAD, Design Optimization, Design for Additive Manufacturing, Orthopedic Bio-mechanics and Biomedical Image Analysis.

I also engage with industry in the above areas to deliver practical solutions.
