Concept to Application
I turn elastic-wave physics and architected metamaterials into components that isolate vibration, absorb impact and control sound in aerospace, land and naval systems.
What I engineer
Control
Architectures engineered with elastic-wave physics that steer vibration and sound away from critical equipment, in vehicle hulls, ship machinery and navigation units.
Isolate
Lightweight bandgap mounts that keep critical equipment such as seekers, antennas and electro-optics steady against vibration.
Absorb
Architected metamaterials that absorb impact and dissipate energy, and remain ready to do it again.
My process, from concept to application
- ConceptDefine the problem, then find a concept that can solve it.
- ModelAnalytical, numerical and finite-element models show whether the concept works.
- ExperimentLab tests show whether it delivers, and whether the result is feasible. Only then does the work move on.
- Real-world needsDefine what the operating environment demands: loads, temperatures, space and standards.
- PrototypeBuild a prototype designed for those conditions.
- TestTest the prototype against those requirements.
