Education
- Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of
California, Berkeley, 2005
- M.S. in Earth and Planetary Science, University of California,
Berkeley, 2005
- M.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering, Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, 1999
- B.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of California,
Berkeley, 1997
Research Interests:
- Simulation-based material system design (high strength steel,
MEMS and piezoelectric materials, probabilistic and statistical
analysis)
- Multiscale modeling and simulations (atomistic-to-continuum
modeling, multiresolution finite element method)
- Computational mechanics (fluid-structure interaction, micro-
and nano-structure evolution, dynamic fracture and wave propagation)
- Acoustic Emission Techniques (system identification, sensor
technology, signal processing, material characterization, design
of experiments)
