Research

My research spans ultrasonics, vibroacoustics, and signal processing — bridging fundamental wave physics with practical system development. Below is an overview of my research philosophy and active areas of expertise.

Research Philosophy

My research philosophy is rooted in connecting fundamental scientific understanding with meaningful real-world impact. I approach problems by integrating insights from wave physics, solid mechanics, and vibroacoustics, using both careful experimentation and modeling to understand complex systems at a deep level. Rather than focusing on isolated components, I think in terms of complete solutions — considering how ideas evolve from initial concepts to validated, practical outcomes. My work emphasizes clarity of mechanism, thoughtful design, and iterative refinement, allowing me to navigate challenges that span multiple domains. I'm particularly drawn to problems that sit at the boundaries between disciplines, where new perspectives can unlock progress.
