Nishant Kumar

Nishant Kumar has a diverse work experience in various roles and industries. Nishant is currently working as a Development Engineer at Getzner, where they are involved in engineering for a quiet future. Prior to this, they worked at Virtual Vehicle Research GmbH as a Senior Researcher from 2017 to 2022. In this role, they were responsible for conducting research.

Before that, Nishant worked at DLR (German Aerospace Center) as a Research Engineer from 2014 to 2017. Their duties included analyzing macroscopic properties of granular materials and developing continuum models.

From 2010 to 2014, Nishant worked at the University of Twente as a Marie Curie researcher. Nishant focused on the micro-macro and jamming transition of granular materials, conducting experiments and developing constitutive models.

Nishant has also gained experience through internships at Schlumberger, where they worked on pipe flow modeling and sequestration of carbon dioxide, and Nestle S.A., where they performed experiments to characterize sensory and texture attributes of food materials.

Nishant's work experience began with a summer internship at CNRS, where they conducted experiments on Shear Rheometry of MR fluid.

Overall, Nishant Kumar has a strong background in engineering research and development in various industries.

Nishant Kumar pursued their Bachelor of Technology degree in Chemical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, from 2004 to 2008. Following this, they attended UC San Diego, where they obtained a Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, completing their studies from 2008 to 2010. Later, Nishant enrolled at the University of Twente, where they earned a certification in Innovation, International Management, and Marketing from 2012 to 2013. Nishant then continued their education at the University of Twente, completing a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Granular Materials from 2010 to 2014.
