Applied Nonlinear Dynamics Research Group
Our research revolves around the development of analytical and numerical multi-fidelity approaches to simulate, analyze, and optimize the behavior of multidisciplinary systems at a reduced computational cost. These include micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS), air vehicles, wind turbines, and bio-inspired underwater vehicles. We are interested in the continued refinement of the underlying modeling and simulation techniques as well as in applying them in energy-related applications and in designing and prototyping novel engineering systems. Our research group is currently working mainly on four themes:
- Nonlinear dynamics of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS)
- Modeling, analysis, and optimization of aerodynamic systems
- Model reduction of dynamical/energy systems
- Design, development, and testing of bio-inspired systems
