Sunbeom Kwon

Postdoctoral Scholar; Ph.D. Civil Eng., Purdue

Research Interests: My research includes computational mechanics to develop fast, stable, and accurate numerical methods for solving multiscale, multiphase, and multiphysics problems with application in solid mechanics, fluid dynamics, and fluid-structure interactions. I am also interested in integrating machine learning approaches to enhance the efficiency of these numerical methods.
