About me

I am currently a fifth-year Ph.D. student in Penn State University, Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics. My study area is Theoretical and Computational Mechanics, using continuum and coarse-grained modeling to explore highly interdisciplinary problems in Mechanics, Material Science and Biology.
