Research to component-level technology

Smart mechanical materials for wave, vibration, shock, and acoustic control.

I work on magnetoactive polymers, guided surface waves, and mechanism-based auxetic metamaterials, with a long-term focus on underwater systems, naval engineering, vibration isolation, shock protection, and acoustic-control applications.

Research themes

Bridging mechanics, waves, and deployable material systems.

The work combines nonlinear material modelling, wave propagation, mechanism-based metamaterial design, and prototype-oriented thinking.

Magnetoactive wave control

Modelling surface and guided waves in magnetoactive polymers under magnetic bias, with emphasis on physically consistent coefficient choices and wave tunability.

MAPsR-wavesLove waves

Mechanism-based metamaterials

Designing auxetic, reinforced, frictional, and matrix-filled architectures for stiffness tailoring, energy absorption, damping, and recoverable deformation.

AuxeticsDampingEnergy absorption

Hybrid material strategies

Exploring laminates, gradients, slender structures, and magneto-mechanical hybrids to distribute energy contributions across geometry, material, and field effects.

Product direction

Component-level translation for underwater and naval systems.

The near-term product direction is a mechanism-enhanced vibro-acoustic and shock-isolation mount for UUV/ROV payloads, shipboard equipment, sensitive electronics, batteries, cameras, and sensor modules.

  • Passive, compact isolation architecture based on nonlinear mechanical mechanisms.
  • Auxetic/frictional core for stiffness tailoring and energy dissipation.
  • Possible future integration of magnetoactive inserts for tunable response.
  • Industrial fallback applications in marine equipment, railway, heavy machinery, and vibration-sensitive systems.
Selected direction

From academic models to testable prototypes.

The website is intentionally built as a research platform and future technical-founder base, not only as a student CV.

Research foundation

Compressible magnetoelastic modelling, surface/guided waves, boundary-value problems, acoustic tensors, and numerical evaluation of wave speeds.

Prototype foundation

Mechanism-enhanced lattice concepts, load-displacement response, energy absorption, damping, frictional dissipation, and compact isolation modules.
