• Graduate PhD Research Project, RPI – Troy, NY January 2015 - Present
• Suppress instabilities such as Euler and snap-through buckling by using smart materials to harvest energy from these instabilities
• Conduct various design space experiments to determine the capabilities of piezoelectric and piezomagnetic materials in aerospace applications
• Responsible for modeling beam-like structures using fully intrinsic equations and the variational asymptotic method (VAM) to include the full effects the cross-sectional geometry has on the solution
• Simulated rotating and non-rotating smart beams in order to show the fully coupled electromagnetic-elastic behaviors present when harvesting energy
• Perform sensitivity studies to prove the positive effects of adding smart materials into aerospace applications and compare them with the same structures not including smart materials
