Topology optimization methodology for validated mechanical systems
I build topology optimization methods the way engineers actually use them: constrained, iterative, and accountable to test data. My work turns messy design objectives into traceable studies, from density filters and adjoint sensitivities to manufacturability checks and fatigue validation. I write for peers who need reproducible choices, not black-box inspiration, and I keep every workflow tied to hardware-ready decisions.
