Outline Activities
My research topics lie at the intersection of materials science and mathematical analysis. I have been mostly working on mathematical modeling of plasticity and phase transformations in Shape-Memory Alloys. I am currently working on designing molecules at the nano-scale by blending AI and quantum mechanics methods.

- Prepared and submitted a paper "A probabilistic model for interfaces in a martensitic phase transition" with Prof. B. Hambly.
Started new project on modeling martensitic microstructure with fragmentation models and computation of power laws of geometric quantities generated during the fragmentation process.
Started new research line on modeling disclinations and kink formation with Prof. Tomonari Inamura (TokyoTech, visiting Oxford during 2018). - Modeling of disclinations and kink formation in metals
- Modeling and Analysis of Nematic Elastomers and Martensite in various configuration with both variational and probabilistic methods.
Computed exact exponents of power law distributions from fragmentation models describing simple mechanisms of space-time evolutions of martensitic microstructures. Compared analytical and numerical results. Collaboration with B. Hambly (Oxford).
Computed exact effective energies of nematic elastomers in elastic foundations configuration, in the membrane regime with small displacements. Obtained phase-diagrams for the energy in the dependence of various geometric and material parameters. Collaboration with A. Baldelli (CNRS)
