Conflict of Interest Statement

Statement of Research Interest

My research interests lie broadly in the field of software engineering and specifically in the areas of software testing, software evolution, and search−based software engineering. My current research work at NC State University in software evolution and testing aims at providing software developers automated solutions to adapt their software because of changes to an external library [1]. My ea...

Statement of Research Interest

I obtained my Bachelor’s degree from Peking University. For my Bachelor’s thesis, I implemented the residual-free bubble method for advection dominated convection-diffusion problem. My primary research area as a Master’s student was on fluid simulation. My advisor and I developed a continuum plastic fluid model for simulating sand flow. Without having to handle millions of collisions, our solut...

Statement of Research Interest

My research interests focus on the geometry and topology of soft materials, in particular the effects of nonlinear elasticity on emergent structural and mechanical properties in complex systems. This encompasses a broad class of systems in several fields, from soft condensed matter physics to materials science to mechanical and biomedical engineering, with problems including programmable matter...

Statement of Research Interest

My research focuses primarily on optimal control of systems in domains with contacts, equipped with variable impedance actuators. The control of such robots is non-trivial due to the the discontinuity in the dynamics which is introduced by mechanical contact with the environment. The traditional optimal control approach is designed to handle smooth continuous system dynamics for tasks over a pr...
