about me

Research Interests

---------------------------------------------------------------
My group is interested in developing computational models at multiple length scales and conducting supporting experiments to understand the mechanical behavior of materials.

Our current focus is on multiscale mechanics of traumatic brain injury, mechanical behavior of biologically relevant soft materials and additively manufactured materials.

Teaching Interests

---------------------------------------------------------------
I am interested in teaching classes related to the mechanics of materials and structures. Most recently, I taught solid mechanics (MAE 2312), aerospace structural statics (MAE 3315) and advanced mechanics of materials (ME/AE 5304).

- Jan 2016 UTA Inquiry Sp 16: MATERIAL WORLD
  MAKING CERAMICS STRONGER Attractive properties such as strength, hardness, durability, and resistance to corrosion have made ceramics a popular choice for a wide variety of applications, from kitchen knives and car brake pads to hip replacements and microprocessors. But it’s their high heat tolerance—some ceramics have a melting point of over 3,000 degrees Celsius—that makes them truly unique.
- Sept 2013 Research project hopes to make Texas highways safer
  At UTA, a school comprised of 85 percent commuter students, according to UTA’s website, some researchers are saying highway safety and efficiency is no less than vital. “When you make the road above the surface, there are two sides that are sloping down,” said Ashfaq Adnan, aerospace and mechanical engineering assistant professor, who also worked on the project. “These pins just lock the slippery soil into place. They act as a resisting force against the clay soil.”
- Sept 2012 Assistant professor shares osteoporosis research
