On-Going Research Program 

• "Development of Numerical Models for Studying Topologically Controlled Lightweight Armor (TCLA) Systems" sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) of the Department of Defense (DoD).

Research interests 

• Characterization of extreme loading events (fire/blast/impact loads) and its application. 

• Computational Thermodynamics/Mechanics- temperature/strain rate dependent material failure.

• High fidelity finite element modeling and its application to Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) problems.

Current Research (in details)

• Explicit FEA for development of passive protective armor system against improvised explosive devices 

• Finite difference / Finite element analysis of reinforced high-strength concrete structure subjected to hydrocarbon pool fire

• Development of low profile barrier features for space restrictive applications using FE simulations.

Personal Info

Jay has obtained the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in civil and coastal engineering at the University of Florida. At the University of Florida (UF), he is currently serving as Director of the Bridge Software Institute and a key faculty member in research programs that focus on characterization of structural behavior of structures under extreme loading events such as blast by explosion and high velocity impact/penetration. His career goal is to contribute to the area of computational analysis whereas to set an example for structural engineering majored students. He enjoys conducting research as a fundamental tool for teaching. His hobbies include practicing and learning self-discipline in Kendo (a martial arts of Japanese fencing) and served as a captain of the Princeton Kendo Club at Princeton University until he moved to UF. He founded a first university Kendo club in Florida in 2000 during his doctoral study. After promoting to Kendo Yondan in 2006, he is the sensei of both the UF Gator Kendo Club and Orlando Kendo Club.
