My expertise lies in developing innovative experimental techniques to measure the mechanical response of engineering materials at high strain rates. I focus on understanding how variables such as strain rate, temperature, and environmental conditions affect lightweight reinforced polymers, titanium alloys, and cellular materials. Recently, I have developed a piezo-driven methodology for the synchronisation and timing of concurrent stress waves. The system allows for the synchronisation of tensile and shear stress waves and for the synchronisation of stress pulses in multiple directions.
I am also interested in applications of artificial intelligence in solid mechanics. I am actively involved in developing data-driven constitutive models to predict the mechanical behaviour of materials subjected to complex thermo-mechanical loading paths. These models account for various factors such as temperature, loading history, strain rate, and stress state, contributing to a deeper understanding of material behaviour in real-world scenarios.
