Research Interests
I am broadly interested in the following areas. My PhD research will likely focus on a combination of these topics.
Finite Element Analysis
Developing and using computational models (like FEA) to simulate complex physical phenomena, such as ballistic impact.
Composite Materials
Investigating the behavior of advanced materials like UHMWPE and other composites under dynamic loading conditions.
Impact Dynamics
Studying the mechanics of high-velocity impacts and material failure to engineer more resilient structures.
