Research summary
AI-generated

This profile appears to combine work from what may be multiple researchers sharing the same name, spanning several distinct engineering topics: thin-film thermocouple sensors for measuring temperature inside fuel cells and under laser heating, bio-inspired robots that can fly, climb walls, and move between air and water, machine-learning based surrogate models for simulating structural dynamics, and blockchain/software security topics like detecting bugs in decentralized finance systems and Android app vulnerabilities. Prospective students should note the breadth of these topics and confirm with the department which specific research group and focus area they would be joining.
