Structural Damage Assessment
Structural materials of the 21st century will have to meet increasingly
demanding standards for performance and life. The strength and integrity
of a structural component deteriorates mainly due to corrosion and fatigue
along with other failure mechanisms in structural materials. In this project,
we investigate the material mechanics at various levels through mechanics/physical
aspects from corrosion experiments, and mathematical and computational
models to understand the evolution of corrosion damage and its effect
on material integrity.

Research Interests
Dr. Palakal holds a B.S., an M.S., and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Concordia University, Montreal, Canada. He is currently the Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Programs in the School of Informatics, Professor of Computer Science in the School of Science and the Director of Informatics Research Institute where he is leading numerous industry and community related projects. He is currently working on problems related to information management in the field of life sciences. Dr. Palakal has developed a system called BioMap that generates methods for analysis of biological data such as identifying biological pathways, providing computerized support for disease targeting and new drug discovery using biomedical literature documents. Dr. Palakal has served as PI or Co-PI on over 20 different research grants and received over $14.68M in external funding from sources such as NIH, NSF, IMLS, Eli Lilly & Co., Indiana 21st Century Grant, and Delco. He has published over 100 manuscripts in peer reviewed venues and given more than 30 invited presentations. He served as proposal reviewer for NSF and NIH and currently serves on the editorial board for a major international Bioinformatics Journal and on the Conference Committee of an International Conference related to Bioinformatics since 2004.
