Research areas: 
Vibrations, Acoustics, and Fluid-Structure
Current research: 
  • Nonsmooth vibrations of flexible structures.
  • Reduced-order models for nonlinear dynamics.
  • Stability analysis of non-smooth systems.
  • Time-marching techniques for large-scale systems.
  • Unilateral contact and friction in aircraft and helicopter engines.
