Gurudas started his academic journey at the Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST), Shibpur (formerly BESU), earning a Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) in Civil Engineering (2008-2012). After completing his undergraduate studies, he pursued a Master of Technology (M.Tech.) degree in Civil Engineering (Structures) from IIT Kharagpur (2012-2014). During this period, he worked on finite element model updating of building floors using experimental modal testing. Later, he worked as a Structural Design Engineer at Fluor Daniel India Pvt. Ltd (2014-2015).
Subsequently, he obtained his PhD from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore in Civil Engineering (Structures), where his dissertation focused on two-temperature thermodynamics and continuum modelling of viscoplasticity in metals (2015-2021). During this time, he collaborated with DRDO and ISRO on strategic projects involving material modelling. After his PhD, he worked as a Research Associate at IISc on the development of the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar experimental setup (2021-2022).
Gurudas has worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Graz University of Technology, Austria, where he developed reduced-order models using Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD), coupled with physics-informed machine learning methods to reveal hidden patterns and symmetries in material systems (June 2022-January 2025). He then moved to Cranfield University in the UK, where he worked as a research fellow, developing crystal plasticity models for extreme environments and investigating high-strain-rate material behaviour within multiscale frameworks (January 2025-August 2025).
Since August 2025, he has been working as an assistant professor in the civil engineering department at IIEST Shibpur, India.
