About

I am a research engineer working in the medical devices industry. Previously I held academic positions in post-doctoral and doctoral reseacher capacity. This is a personal showcase of my research and other interests.

Research

Reliably predicting damage in structural metallic materials is the goal of my research. I use microstructural and macroscopic modeling along with surface and bulk characterization techniques such as digital image correlation and high-energy X-ray diffraction to achieve this goal. I also use numerical methods to quantify uncertainty in various components used as inputs to the models. Shape memory alloys (SMAs) that deform by both phase transformation and plasticity are the present focus of my work.
