Geometry into simulation

My contribution

At the University of Michigan’s Mechanics of Solids and Materials Lab, I built parametric finite element models in Gmsh for elasticity, plasticity, fracture, and auxetic structures.

I automated mesh generation so researchers could change geometry without rebuilding each model by hand. The new process reduced preprocessing time by 30 percent, according to the result recorded in my résumé.

I applied the workflow to tetra chiral structures, making it easier to study how geometry changes material response.
