Ratul Das

Ratul Das is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford. His research focuses on hydrogen embrittlement in steel pipelines, a critical area for hydrogen transport and storage infrastructure. He employs advanced computational tools to assess the susceptibility of metallic components to hydrogen-assisted cracking, particularly in the context of pre-existing defects. His work aligns with the UK's hydrogen economy goals and contributes to ensuring the safety of hydrogen transport systems. Das holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Cambridge and has previously completed a master's degree from The University of British Columbia and a bachelor's degree from the Indian Institute of Technology.

Ratul Das, PhD, is a Research Associate at the University of Oxford, specializing in Hydrogen embrittlement, Porous material, and Mechanics of materials. His research focuses on the mechanical behavior of materials under various conditions, particularly in the context of tissue manufacturing and hydrogen transport. Das has published extensively on topics such as elastoplastic creping models, microarchitected fibrous networks, and the transport of water in cellulose foam. His work also explores the influence of creping on the mechanical properties of tissue paper products and the structural integrity of hydrogen transport pipelines. Additionally, he investigates liquid transport and swelling in porous media, contributing to the understanding of imbibation kinetics and capillary rise in packed media.
