Personal profile
Biography
I am now aMarie-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow attheUniversity of Galwayand a member of the Soft Matter group led by Prof.Stephan Rudykh.Currently, my research interest is theoretical modeling, numerical simulations, and experimental characterization ofMagnetoactive Metamaterialsfor tunable wave manipulations. I am focused onexploiting theunique transformative abilityof soft magnetoactive materials integrated into theneat metamaterial designto develop novel tunable and multifunctional soft magnetoactive metamaterials with superior elastic wave properties.
