My research is currently focusing on continuing my MRes dissertation and exploring the role of twist in the solutions of morphing multistable shell structures. The work produced during my dissertation suggests the theory and literature, in particular Mansfield's solutions of twist, might suggest slightly different behaviour to what is actually observed. The aims and objectives are thus to review these solutions and explore the physical significance of the findings by creating physical models which embody the novel behaviour these solutions reveal.

我目前的研究重点是继续我的MRes论文和探索扭转在变形多稳定壳结构的解决方案中的作用。在我的论文中产生的工作表明，理论和文献，特别是曼斯菲尔德的扭曲解，可能暗示了与实际观察到的略有不同的行为。因此，目的和目标是审查这些解决方案，并通过创建体现这些解决方案所揭示的新行为的物理模型来探索这些发现的物理意义。
