Background
- Research areas span mechanics of materials, structural materials science, and advanced manufacturing.
- Develops analytical, numerical, and experimental techniques across multiple length scales.
- Primary research goals include optimal design, modeling, fabrication, and experimental characterization of metamaterials and structures with unprecedented property combinations.
- Current research interests: beneficial size effects in nano-architected materials, nonlinear design of periodic and disordered mechanical metamaterials, and processing-microstructure-properties relationships in additive manufacturing (especially Two-Photon Polymerization Direct Laser Writing, Direct Ink Writing, Laser Powder Bed Fusion, and Cold Spray Deposition).
- Affiliated with the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of California, Irvine.
