Shock waves have been studied for well over a century, and the physics of shock waves forming in steady flows is today considered well understood. The propagation of unsteady shock waves is a far more challenging problem, and more so...

This study presents an experimental investigation of a turbulent flow through an abrupt axisymmetric area contraction in a pipe, focusing on a comparison between two different Reynolds numbers. The experiments were conducted in a refractive index–matched closed-loop flow tunnel, enabling...

Future long-duration space missions will require in-situ, on-demand manufacturing of tools and components. Photopolymer-based processes are attractive for this purpose due to their low energy requirements and volume efficiency. However, photopolymerization generates significant heat, which is difficult to dissipate in...

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...
