Computational Mechanics and Robust Design
Welcome to my website! I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute at the University of Utah.
Research Interests
Design Optimization, Computational Mechanics, Uncertainty Quantification, and Nonlinear Systems.
My research focuses on analysis and design of complex physical systems. I take computational approaches to predict the behavior of such systems which involve the development of mathematical models and algorithms.
