Research Interest

Biomechanics: head injury problems, experimental and theoretical mechanics of the major articulating joints of the human body, biological material properties, biodynamic modeling of various parts of the human body.
Mechanics: Continuum mechanics, emphasizing fluid-solid interaction problems, wave propagation theory, dynamic analyses of shells, optimization, and numerical methods.
