I am a member of the
Structural Engineering and Structural Mechanics (SESM) faculty at
UC Davis, and also a
member of the Graduate Group
in Applied
Mathematics.
My research interests lie in the areas of computational solid
mechanics and applied mathematics, with
recent emphasis on new methods development for
failure modeling in materials
and in
ab initio electronic-structure
(Kohn-Sham equations of DFT) calculations. I have been involved in the
development of meshfree (natural neighbor) and
partition of unity finite element
methods. Other areas
of interest and current research emphasis
include computational geometry, level set methods,
information theory, Bayesian theory of probability,
maximum entropy methods in mechanics,
bone fracture, constrained
optimization and variational analysis,
dynamic programming, adaptive mesh refinement,
and scientific computing. I am currently working on a few
funded projects.
Prior to UCD, I was a research associate at
Princeton;
Ph.D. in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics
from Northwestern
[web],
M.S. from OGI,
and B.Tech. from IIT Bombay
(H6).
