My research centers on computational mechanics, with a focus on Fluid–Structure Interaction (FSI) phenomena in science and engineering. I lead a research team at Iowa State University that tackles interdisciplinary problems relevant to defense, medicine, and other critical areas. We develop robust, validated, and streamlined frameworks that incorporate complex parameterization, geometric modeling, multiphysics analysis, and optimization. These methods leverage computational FSI and high-fidelity analysis to facilitate design space exploration, advance digital twin technologies, and enhance our understanding of fluid and solid mechanics. Our research is supported by the NIH, NSF, DOD, DOE, industry partners, and private foundations.
