Dr. Danish Fayaz
Assistant Professor
Alliance College of Engineering and Design
Dr. Danish Fayaz is working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering (Alliance School of Engineering and Design) at Alliance University, Bengaluru.
Dr. Danish has pursued his PhD from the Department of Civil Engineering, Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani-Pilani Campus, Rajasthan, in 2024. He completed his postgraduate degree (M.Tech.) from the Lovely Professional University, Jalandhar, Punjab, in 2018 specializing in Structural Engineering. Dr. Danish pursued his bachelor's degree of B.Tech in Civil Engineering in 2016 from Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah University, Rajouri, Jammu and Kashmir. After completing his postgraduate studies, he worked as an Assistant Professor at Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah University, Rajouri, Jammu and Kashmir for a duration of 6 months.
Dr. Danish has passion for imparting knowledge in the areas of Finite Element Analysis, Theory of Plates and Shells, Dynamic Stability of Structures, Composite Materials, and Mechanics of Structures. His areas of expertise are linear and non-linear finite element analysis, computational mechanics, free vibrations, buckling, linear and nonlinear dynamic stability, thin-walled structures and mechanics of laminated plates and shells. Dr. Danish possesses exemplary finite element analysis coding skills in FORTRAN and has effectively utilized MATLAB for various computational tasks which have been instrumental in his collaborative research work. His exceptional skills in mathematical modeling, solving linear and nonlinear system of equations, and utilizing numerical methods make him using FE method an outstanding candidate in the field of finite element analysis of composite structures. One of his standout strengths lies in their expertise in software tools like ABAQUS.
