My research interests lie within the broad
area of Computational Solid and Structural Mechanics. I am currently
working on topology optimization of smart material systems,
soil-structure interaction in deep and shallow foundation systems, wave
propagation in continuous media, inverse problems—with various
applications in system identification, structural health monitoring as
well as surveillance—and simulation of structural response under extreme
loadings such as explosions, and ballistic impact. |
