Lallit Anand

Lallit Anand is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research focuses on crystal-mechanics based large-deformation plasticity theory, strain-gradient plasticity, coupled diffusion-deformation-damage theories, gel mechanics, Li-ion batteries, and hydrogen embrittlement in steels. Anand's work has been recognized through various honors and awards, including the Daniel C. Drucker Medal and the J. P. Den Hartog Distinguished Educator Award. He is also the Warren and Towneley Rohsenow Professor of Mechanical Engineering at MIT.

Lallit Anand Rohsenow is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at MIT, specializing in Solid Mechanics, Continuum Mechanics, and Mechanics of Materials. His research focuses on the mechanics and thermodynamics of continua, constitutive modeling of metals under high-temperature deformation, and the development of constitutive equations for hot-working processes. He also investigates crystallographic texture evolution in FCC metals and the behavior of polycrystalline materials under large deformations. His work extends to amorphous polymers and shape-memory materials, emphasizing the coupling of thermal and mechanical effects. Rohsenow's research contributes to understanding the microstructural evolution and macroscopic response of materials under complex loading conditions.
