Experimental modal analysis is commonly used to identify models for the vibratory behavior of structures. This is done by conducting a set of experiments to obtain the structure’s governing equations and information in the form of eigenfrequencies, mode shapes, and damping. However, linearity of the test structure is assumed within this identification procedure. Hence, as …
Our research on rogue waves has been featured on national and international news outlets. Read more: [UMD] [National Public Radio] [USA Today] [Haaretz] [Geo] [UN DDR]
Freak or rogue waves are a danger to ships, offshore infrastructure, and other maritime equipment. Reliable rogue wave forecasts could mitigate this risk for operations at sea. While the occurrence of oceanic rogue waves at sea is generally acknowledged, reliable rogue wave forecasts are unavailable. In this paper, the authors seek to overcome this shortcoming …
On January 1, 2025 I will start as Assistant Professor (tenure track) at the Mechanical Engineering Department of the University of Wisconsin, Madison. My research will include structural dynamics, vibrations, and nonlinear dynamics using a blend of analytical studies, computational approaches, and experiments. Read more: [UW-Madison announcement]
