About

Dr. Krishanu Roy is a leading researcher in structural engineering, specializing in advanced composite materials and sustainable construction systems. His work focuses on the behavior of pultruded glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) structures, particularly when combined with engineered cementitious composites (ECC) to enhance ductility and seismic resilience. In his highly cited 2022 study, Roy demonstrated how GFRP beam-columns infilled with ECC perform under cyclic loading, offering a corrosion-resistant, lightweight alternative to traditional steel-reinforced concrete—critical for infrastructure in aggressive environments. With over 30 citations already, this work has influenced the design of resilient, low-maintenance structural systems. Roy’s broader contributions include advancing the understanding of GFRP’s mechanical properties—such as high strength-to-weight ratio, fatigue resistance, and chemical durability—and their integration into modular, prefabricated components. His research bridges material science and structural dynamics, providing engineers with data-driven solutions for earthquake-prone regions and sustainable urban development. Recognized for his innovative approach, Roy continues to shape next-generation construction practices, making him a key voice in the push toward durable, eco-friendly infrastructure.
