Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher works across mechanical engineering topics such as material and tissue characterization, fatigue and fracture mechanics, and bio-inspired robotics, alongside a substantial line of work in STEM education, including teacher professional development, AI-based instruction tools, and educational games. Recent projects span brain tissue mechanics, metamaterial modeling with machine learning, multirobot communication frameworks, and middle-school curriculum design integrating visual computing and AI. This mix suggests opportunities for students interested in both engineering mechanics/robotics research and applied engineering education projects.
