I study the structural stability of thin-walled cold-formed steel members, with a focus on buckling behaviour, geometric imperfections, and optimisation under uncertainty. My broader research interests span structural optimisation, steel structures, computational form-finding, additive manufacturing, and optics-based measurement techniques.
Developing the Polarization Method for decomposing FSM eigenmodes of thin-walled steel members into physically pure local, distortional, global, and shear/extension mode components using energy-orthogonal projections.
Developed a parametric generative design workflow integrating structural optimization and finite element analysis to produce manufacturable CAD models of civil engineering structures.
Developed a Digital Image Correlation algorithm and GUI to compute displacement and strain fields from mobile camera images, validated experimentally against laboratory measurements.
I am a PhD student in the Structures Division at the Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge, supervised by Dr Jurgen Becque. My research focuses on the optimisation of thin-walled steel structures under uncertainties, with an emphasis on structural stability and modal decomposition using the Finite Strip Method.
Before Cambridge, I completed an MSc in Civil Engineering at the University of Moratuwa, where I developed a parametric generative design workflow that produces design-informed, structurally optimised members through the integration of topology optimisation and finite element analysis. My undergraduate research produced a Digital Image Correlation system for full-field deformation and strain measurement using mobile phone cameras.
