- Ph.D., Princeton University
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
