PI计划继续他与损害控制有关的工作， 传感、主动振动控制和结构设计 材料系统和结构的方法 传感器、执行器和控制器的复杂嵌入式阵列 网络. 迄今为止，他的研究计划的重点是 开发新的材料系统（智能材料 系统），表征和建模这些新材料 系统，并将这些创新实施到积极的 控制应用。 发展及后续 这种新型材料的生产可能会产生影响 在几个不同的技术领域，即，材料 土木工程科学、设计和健康监测 结构，大型柔性结构的控制，海洋和 航空航天结构、结构声学和机器人技术， 并可能作为许多新的发展的催化剂， 设备和技术。

PI plans to continue his work related to damage control and sensing, active vibration control and structural design methodologies for material systems and structures with complex embedded arrays of sensors, actuators and control networks. The focus of his research program to date has been in developing new material systems (intelligent material systems), characterising and modeling these new material systems and implementing these innovations into active control applications. The development and subsequent production of this new class of materials could have impact on several diverse technological fields, i.e., material science, design and health monitoring of civil engineering structures, control of large flexible structures, ocean and aerospace structures, structural acoustics, and robotics, and may act as a catalyst for the development of many new devices and technologies.
