My research starts with a mechanics question: how a material deforms, how its properties can be identified, or whether a model predicts what an experiment actually measures. Full-field imaging, finite element simulation, inverse methods, and machine learning are the tools I use to answer it.
01
Material Mechanics & Model Validation
2 research projects
Heterogeneous Material Property Identification
An inverse mechanics framework that identifies property fields from a single instrumented test while using measured boundary conditions.
Thermo-Mechanical Package Modeling & Validation
Abaqus modeling and parametric studies linking CTE mismatch, geometry, warpage, interfacial stress, and measured package response.
02
Experimental Material Characterization
2 research projects
High-Strain-Rate Material Characterization
Cavitation experiments and full-field imaging reveal material response, instability, and damage under rapid, repeated loading.
02 Bubble-Radius-Fitting
Quantitative bubble-dynamics measurement from ultra-high-speed cavitation sequences with difficult optical backgrounds.
03
Full-Field Deformation Measurement
4 research projects
01 pyALDIC
Adaptive, regularized DIC for measuring displacement and strain near complex geometry, discontinuities, and large deformation.
02 pyALDVC
Volumetric deformation measurement that preserves steep gradients and discontinuities in noisy experimental scans.
03 pyALDIC-3D
Experimental 3D surface kinematics for specimens undergoing out-of-plane motion, large strain, and discontinuity.
