Honors and Distinctions:

  • R&D 100 Award, R&D Magazine, 2000

Professional Affiliations:

  • American Geophysical Union
  • American Society of Mechanical Engineers

Interests:

  • Computational multiscale mechanics for heterogeneous porous materials.
  • Single phase (dry) and multiphase (partially-saturated and saturated, multi-constituent) porous materials, such as geomaterials (soil, rock), concrete, and soft biological tissues.
  • Damaged polycrystalline metals.
  • Generalized continuum theories for multiscale modeling of inelastic deformation.
  • Applications include modeling geotechnical, geological, and structural engineering failures, high strain rate loading of polycrystalline metals, and visco-poroelastic response of ocular tissues.
