Optical phase masks manipulate light by carefully designed geometries that introduce phase accumulation and are essential in many optical systems. They are commonly fabricated using cleanroom lithography or high-precision mechanical processes such as diamond machining and magnetorheological finishing. These methods,...

Multistable structures provide a powerful route for achieving programmable shape morphing, controlled deployment, energy storage, and adaptive mechanical behavior without continuous actuation. My doctoral research focused on developing instability-based fabrication strategies that harness directed mechanical instabilities as a design tool...

Wear in polymer–metal contacts is critical to the performance and stability of many mechanical systems, especially under sliding conditions where friction and material loss arise from the complex interplay of surface topography, contact mechanics, and material response. Accurate wear prediction...
