Projects 1–1: Ballistic Impact and Optimization of Composite Shields;
1–8: High-Performance Computation of Projectile Impact with Electromagnetic Fabric

Micromechanical material design, granular flow, and the mechanics of high-strength fabric. Emphasis on computational approaches for nonconvex multiscale–multiphysics inverse problems—in particular, addressing the crucial issue of how large numbers of micro-constituents interact to produce macroscale aggregate behavior
