Aerospace Engineer with expertise in computational mechanics and design of advanced materials and structures. My research has been focused on the development of metamaterial-based solutions for lightweight soundproofing applications through advanced computational design techniques, including multi-scale modelling and topology optimization. At present, I seek to explore the benefits of metamaterials for flow control in aerospace applications.
