About

Atul Harmukh is a rising researcher in the field of biomechanics and impact engineering, with a focused interest in the dynamic response of soft materials under high-velocity loading. His work bridges critical gaps in defense, space exploration, soft robotics, and sensing technologies. Harmukh’s most cited study, “Ballistic response of skin simulant against fragment simulating projectiles” (2023, 10 citations), investigates how silicone-based biological phantoms behave under fragment impact using a pneumatic gas gun setup. This research provides essential data for designing protective gear and understanding injury mechanisms, offering a novel approach to simulating real-world ballistic threats. By characterizing the response of skin simulants to chisel-nosed projectiles, Harmukh contributes to safer body armor and advanced soft robotic skins. His work, though early in citation impact, demonstrates a rigorous experimental methodology and a clear translational potential. Harmukh’s achievements highlight his commitment to solving practical problems in defense and bioengineering, making him a promising voice in the study of material behavior under extreme conditions.
