Research

Studies in fracture mechanics, bioinspired architectures and hybrid composites. Each project brings together the question, methods and visual results.

These are some of the research projects I have worked on, from my undergraduate thesis to collaborative research beyond regular coursework. The research work for five of these six projects is complete. One manuscript is currently under peer review, while two others are being finalized for submission in the coming weeks. My work on crack-path prediction in polycrystalline h-BN remains ongoing.
