The team specializes in studying vibrations, structural dynamics, and acoustic phenomena. Their primary research focuses include nonlinear dynamics, structural integrity assessment, both active and passive noise/vibration mitigation, intelligent materials and structural systems, and acoustic engineering. Within nonlinear dynamics, their core investigation revolves around system identification techniques, particularly emphasizing Bayesian methodologies, machine learning algorithms, and optimization-based strategies.

Additional recent research domains encompass nonlinear normal modes analysis and employing normal form transformations to examine the dynamic characteristics of interconnected nonlinear oscillator systems.
