Research Interests

• Predictive modeling and large scale simulation of deformation and failure of advanced materials
  
• Multiscale modeling to investigate the effect of microstructure on the macroscopic
  behavior of materials
  
• Design and analysis of biologically inspired materials
  
• Characterization of failure of ceramics, metallic glasses and polymers over multiple time scales
