Research

My research interests are centered on computational mechanics, particularly the modeling, analysis, and synthesis of mechanisms and robotic systems, as well as finite element methods for structural analysis.

I am also interested in numerical methods, simulation, and optimization for the analysis and design of mechanical systems.
