I have been a PI or CO-PI on eight externally funded research projects, upcoming, ongoing and concluded (PI on six), with total funding $1.8M ($1.4M my share). See "Research Interests" for more information on the research this is supporting.

Ongoing/Upcoming projects:

• CAREER: A Hybrid Local-Nonlocal Peridynamics Framework to Model Failure Across Deformations and Strain Rates (PI).  The National Science Foundation. 

 

• STTR: High Temperature Fracture Mechanics (co-PI). Karagozian & Case, Inc. ​

 

• Enhanced Reproducing Kernel Particle Method: Variationally Consistent Naturally Stabilized Nodal Integration (PI). Karagozian & Case, Inc. 

 

• A Discrete Continuum Particle Method for Understanding Micro-structural Failure of Concrete (PI). Integrated Solutions for Systems, Inc.

 

• A Combined Computational-Experimental Approach to Study Three-Dimensional Fracture in Polymer-Ceramic Composites (PI). The National Science Foundation.
