Research
Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.
My core research focuses on the nonlinear mechanics of morphing structures. My work involves: fabricating custom test samples, designing and executing physical experiments, and validating the results through numerical models.
PhD Projects
These projects are where I serve as the primary investigator. While guided by my supervisor, the core design and execution of the work are carried out mostly solo.
