Received a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin Madison in 2016, supervised by Prof. Krishnan Suresh, with research focused on augmented topological level-set methods for large-scale thermo-elastic topology optimization.
Background
Currently an assistant professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the director of the Design Intelligence Laboratory at the University of Kansas. Research vision is to develop data-driven physics-informed design intelligence for advanced material-structure systems by leveraging artificial intelligence and computational mechanics. Broadly interested in interdisciplinary topics at the frontiers of engineering design, including design for advanced manufacturing, design of material systems, structural design optimization, data-driven design, and mechanics-based design.
