As a research member of the Additive Manufacturing Fatigue and Fracture Project, my current research focuses on developing computational methods to predict fracture and fatigue for metal-based additive manufacturing. My PhD dissertation was on experimental characterization and computational modeling of a sheet metal forming process known as double-sided incremental forming. Through these experiences, I have gained a background in topics related to advanced manufacturing, experimental solid mechanics, X-ray diffraction, crystallography/metallography, object-orientated programming, finite element methods, computational mechanics, constitutive modeling (emphasis on elastic-plastic relations), and fracture/fatigue.
