Thomas Breunung

Assistant Professor

Dr. Breunung is the Principal investigator of the Dynamics, Structures, and Data (DSD) Lab. He and his team investigate motions, trajectories, and vibrations in engineering and beyond using a blend of analytical studies, computational approaches, and experiments. The DSD Lab integrates applied mathematics and physics with cutting-edge data science technologies and a problem-solving engineering mindset. Applications include airplane wing vibrations, traveling waves, and biological systems.
