About Me
"I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at TU Delft with extensive experience in mechanical metamaterials, dynamic systems, and vibration control. I analyze, design, build and evaluate active and passive design strategies of vibration-control through elastic/acoustic metamaterials and metastructures, phononic crystals, smart materials and structures, mechatronics systems. I gained blend of expertise from the research experiences of my masters, PhD, and Postdoc. I started to work on a bio-mechanics problem in my master’s that was triggered by my very first interest in research. This led me to analyze advanced architected materials in my doctoral experience, such as metamaterials, that were more towards the passive solutions of it. My postdoctoral approach complements it through active control architectures within precision mechatronic system design, which not only improves the application flexibility of these systems but also mitigates the design limitations inherent to conventional mechanical architectures, offering a transformative solution for industry in achieving adaptable and high-performance vibration control techniques. For example: The developed metamaterial is now in the stage of performance check at TU Delft Netherlands, it is planned to integrate in the industrial (ASML) wafer production machine module to achieve desired accuracy of the semiconductor chip production process. With a strong academic background and professional collaborations across the globe, I strive to contribute to cutting-edge advancements in my field."
