My current research focuses primarily on the multiphysics modeling of stimuli-responsive hydrogels. I use continuum scale model sand coupled finite element methods to understand the chemo-mechanical response of hydrogels subjected to temperature, pH, and ionic solution. Most of my research involves developing multi-physics frameworks, constitutive models, and implementing them in finite element to perform simulations. Besides developing a fundamental understanding of a wide class of hydrogel materials, I also focus on exploiting such stimuli-responsive behaviors to develop devices that can be used in soft sensing and actuation.
