Research field

• Macromechanics and micromechanics of polymeric solids and liquids, and crystalline matter
• Materials-by-design and architected materials: mechanics, geometry and 3D printing/additive manufacturing for aerospace, defense and energy applications
• Extreme mechanics and multi-physics in complex solids, liquids, composites (or copolymers) and energy materials
• Scientific computing and physical mathematics for aerospace computational design
• Physics-based design for soft (robotic) matter 

Laboratory Introduction

We tackle the complex engineering problems in emerging areas of Mechanics, Materials and Soft Matter using a combination of modeling, experimentation and computation. We are particularly interested in understanding physical principles underlying the large deformation, flow and interactions of solids and (macro- and micro-) structures (and liquids/fluids) in extreme, coupled and aerospace settings.
