My research in the Computational Wave Mechanics Lab tackles one of the grand challenges in materials science and aerospace engineering: predicting the dynamic behavior of advanced materials across environments. This work is critical for structural integrity and non-destructive evaluation (NDE) applications.
My approach involves developing a rigorous, computationally efficient Multiscale Modeling Framework. I specialize in coupling fine-scale atomistic methods, such as the Quasicontinuum Method, with efficient continuum solutions, primarily leveraging the Spectral Finite Element Method (SFEM). This methodology drastically reduces computational cost while enabling accurate simulation of high-rate dynamic events such as elastic wave propagation.
My dedication to computational mechanics, wave physics, and robust modeling is clearly reflected in my projects and publications. Dive deeper into my work through the publications. Should it be wished, I can be contacted for further details or discussions.
