My research work on Structural Dynamics and Wave Propagation is primarily driven by the need to understand physical phenomena and the desire to develop engineering solutions to vibration problems affecting stakeholders in the built environment. The research problems I am focusing on require a synergy of physical experimental testing and/or computational simulations based on applied mechanics and on applied mathematics. Applications involve vibrations in the built environment such as ground-borne vibrations, dynamics of timber structures and, and structure--acoustic analysis of lightweight structures such as vehicle bodies and pipe systems.
