His research interest spans topology optimization , design for additive manufacturing , computational mechanics and high-performance computing . His research group focuses on questions such as : What are the theoretical advances needed to solve multi-constrained design optimization problems? What are the computational bottlenecks, and how do we overcome these? How can one address additive manufacturing constraints in topology optimization? How do we preserve design features during topology optimization? How do we handle tangled meshes in large-deformation finite element analysis?
