My areas of expertise span advanced simulations for civil, mechanical, and aerospace applications, model calibration, model verification, and model validation by test. Examples of current research applications include:
Modeling and validation by test of seismic behavior for concrete and masonry structures
Test-validated finite element (FE) simulations for indirect health monitoring of bridges
Modeling and design of rigid-flex PCB robotics for extreme impact resistance
Simplified multivariate Bayesian calibration and validation techniques for FE models of vehicle subsystems
Research Group Website: The research at Clemson Advanced Structures Laboratory (CASL) focuses on creating models for complex material and structural behavior and utilizing experiments to validate these models for civil, mechanical, and aerospace applications. https://cecas.clemson.edu/casl/
