My work Philosophy
My research focuses on building computational methods and scalable simulation technologies for solving complex engineering problems. I work at the intersection of computational mechanics, high-performance computing, and scientific machine learning, with applications in fracture mechanics, batteries, metamaterials, topology optimization, and advanced manufacturing.
I am interested in developing algorithms and software that combine mathematical rigor with real-world engineering impact. My work spans adaptive finite element methods, large-scale parallel simulations, and AI-driven scientific computing, with the goal of making high-fidelity simulations faster, more reliable, and more accessible to researchers and industry.
I strongly believe that meaningful breakthroughs happen through collaboration across disciplines. I am always excited to work with students, researchers, developers, and industry partners who are passionate about computational science, engineering, and building impactful technologies. If you are interested in research collaborations, open-source development, scientific software, or interdisciplinary projects, I would love to connect and explore ideas together.
