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研究硕士论文，并探索扭曲在变形多稳态壳结构解决方案中的作用。我的论文期间所做的工作表明，理论和文献，特别是曼斯菲尔德的扭曲解决方案，可能表明与实际观察到的行为略有不同。因此，目的和目标是回顾这些解决方案，并通过创建体现这些解决方案所揭示的新颖行为的物理模型来探索这些发现的物理意义。
