I am a mechanical engineer and independent researcher specializing in nonlinear finite element methods, continuum mechanics, and computational modeling of soft biological tissues. During my MSc thesis, I developed a complete 3D nonlinear finite element solver from scratch in MATLAB, implementing time-dependent constitutive models, implicit time integration, and consistent linearization for large-deformation growth problems. Since graduating, I have continued research independently, collaborating internationally on topics including hyper-dimensional gap finite elements for interfacial constraints and surface effects in generalized continuum mechanics. I am currently seeking graduate opportunities in computational mechanics, biomechanics, or related fields, where I can contribute my hands-on solver-development experience and continue working on problems involving nonlinear FEM, inelasticity, and contact mechanics.
