Our research focuses at the interaction of mechanics (solid, fluid, thermal), materials, and manufacturing.  Our scientific investigation has been carried out experimentally, theoretically, and numerically.  Detailed characterizations of material responses to processing are an integral part of our endeavor.  Our effort has been focused on (1) advanced laser materials processing and (2) advance robotic health care.
