About Me:
Materials have fascinated me since my engineering days. I have always admired how with simple equations engineers and researchers have predicted complex behavior and those equations were the building pillars of some of the exemplary feats of mankind. Simplicity is the hallmark of all great research in the field of material modeling. I invite you to join me on this adventurous journey to understand materials, solve challenging problems, and be of service to humanity and the world through research.
