Research Interests
His research integrates computational solid mechanics with bio-inspired design to create architected materials and structures that are lightweight, adaptive and resilient. Using high-fidelity finite-element and discrete-element modelling he investigates failure mechanisms under extreme thermomechanical environments, with applications spanning pharmaceutical tablet compaction, biomedical scaffolds for bone regeneration, floating solar-panel arrays, fire-exposed steel plates and subsea riser systems.
Across 50+ peer-reviewed works he has advanced analytical solutions for functionally graded shells, nonlinear thermo-elastic plates, vibration of micro-composite skew plates and efficient riser elements, while recent outputs concentrate on additive-manufactured aerospace mounts, 3-D printed biodegradable scaffolds and data-driven engineering curricula.
