Research summary
AI-generated

Nicolás Guarín-Zapata works in engineering mechanics, focusing on how waves travel through materials, especially periodic and generalized-continuum materials (materials with special microstructure that affects wave behavior). Recent work extends into physics-informed machine learning methods (computational approaches that combine physics equations with neural networks) for modeling wave propagation, including applications in seismology and wave scattering problems. The work spans numerical methods, computational tools, and some more exploratory or lighter topics like musical instrument design and everyday physics.

Publication output was minimal in 2017-2018, rose to a peak around 2019-2021, dipped in 2022-2024, and has picked up again in 2025-2026, suggesting an uneven but recently reinvigorated publication pace.
