Development of computational methods in structural acoustics, and their utilization in simulation based design. Introducing uncertainty in engineering simulations, performing variability assessment in non-linear simulations, and developing methods for design in the presence of uncertainty. Areas of expertise are in finite element and boundary element methods, energy finite element analysis, hybrid finite element analysis, blast and shock simulations, and sensitivity formulations for design guidance and optimization.
