Barbone Academic Interests
 
My teaching and research falls under the broad umbrellas of Applied Mechanics and Theoretical Acoustics. I design and analyze engineering tools that solve mathematical descriptions of the laws of mechanics, in order to better understand the world around us.
 

Research Interests
My research work may be categorized into several areas. There is naturally some overlap between them. For example, some multiple scales and computational mechanics work is dedicated to applications in acoustics or biomechanical imaging. The areas are listed below. The links will bring you to a description of the work, with lists of published articles relevant to each section.
