Assistant Professor at Engineering Science and Mechanics, Penn State. At LCBN, we develop and apply computational models to answer fundamental scientific questions in exotic materials. Currently, we explore the emergent behavior of biological networks for AI, the mechanics of nano-enriched ice for ultrasonic evaluation, and multiscale, high performance computing for fracture mechanics in complex microstructures.
