Extreme mechanics
and high-throughput experiments

My research combines experimental mechanics and data-driven discovery to understand materials under extreme conditions. I’m a postdoctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins.

A sphere strikes a target, forming a crater and ejecting material outward.

01 Impact

An illustrative time-resolved response is recorded after impact. TimeResponse

02 Measure

Repeated experiments add illustrative points to a map of material behavior. Material descriptorsDynamic response

03 Discover

Impact → measurement → discovery · Schematic physics and illustrative data

Strength, damage,
and failure

I study how metals, composites, and foams respond to impact and shock. My current work combines automated experiments and statistical models to measure dynamic strength, explain failure, and choose which materials and loading conditions to test next.
