A LITTLE BACKGROUND

About me

Waves, models, and experiments.

I study how structure, activity, and time modulation shape elastic waves. My research connects experiments, computational models, and theory to explore new ways of controlling wave propagation.

My work spans time-varying elastic media, non-Hermitian and topological physics, and computational methods. Earlier research explored piezoelectric resonators and molecular simulations of charged polymers.
