BIO

The study of T Lab proceeds with a synergy of mechanics and materials, including fracture of materials, energy infrastructure materials and art-structure conservation. We are interested in developing experimental approaches to investigate materials and structures in the context of energy and sustainability.

Courses

  • CE 100 - Mechanics of Materials
  • CE 173 - Reinforced Concrete
  • CE 295 - Sustainable Engineering Materials

Area(s) of expertise

Fracture of materials, energy infrastructure materials, experimental mechanics, art-structure conservation
