Research Interests


  • Spectral and finite element analysis
  • Structural health monitoring
  • Mechanics of composite structures
  • Reduced order modeling
  • Machine learning


Current Research


Currently I am working on developing a numerical tool based on time-domain spectral element method to model acousto-ultrasnoic wave propagation in metallic or composite structures induced by surface-mounted and/or embedded piezoelectric transducers.

This numerical tool, called Piezo-Enabled Spectral Element Analysis (PESEA), can efficiently and accuratly model wave propagation in isotropic as well as layered inhomogeneous media, such as CFRP.
