Assistant Professor, Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering
Biography
NASA ULI Technical Sub-Group: Low-Speed Flight Performance
NASA ULI Research: Task 1.06 Piezocomposite Trailing-Edge Development
Research
Conceptual design, modeling/simulation, optimization, control, manufacturing and testing/validation of smart-material based multi-physics systems. Piezoelectric materials and shape-memory alloys are among the materials that are studied. Applications include aircraft systems such as multi-rotor drones, fixed-wing, flapping-wing and rotary-wing aircraft, energy-conversion and harvesting systems, soft/compliant robotics, manipulators and biomechanical systems, and mobile biomedical devices.
