My research focuses on the mechanics and computational design of architected materials and structural systems. During my Ph.D. in Civil Engineering at Princeton, I studied how patterned cuts in thin sheets (kirigami) can transform flexible materials into stiff, lightweight 3D trusses through a combination of physical experiments and finite element simulations. Building on this foundation, my current work integrates design optimization and machine learning methods to accelerate forward and inverse design of complex mechanical systems.
