| Scientific mathematical modelling and development of numerical / computational algorithms. |
| Algorithm development for supercomputers such as vector machines or SMP and distributed parallel machines. |
| Symbolic computations, object oriented methodology and optimization algorithms like Genetic Algorithms and Artificial Neural Networks. |
| Theoretical modelling and finite element formulation of laminated composite with piezoelectric actuators and sensors. |
| Optimising the usage of piezoelectrics in smart structures. Possible applications in vibration and shape control of smart structures. |
| Future Interest: The use of piezoelectric vibration control technology in large space structures and space stations. Vibration problems
could be quite significant in zero-gravity environment due to the lack of external environmental damping sources such as gravity and friction present on Earth. The vision is to make piezoelectrics
a cost effective, elegant and reliable method of structural control. |
