is a graduate student and teaching assistant in the department of Mechanical Engineering and the department of Mathematics at the University of Maine. His current research includes multiscale modeling of nanomaterials to study their mechanical behavior using atomistic and first-principles computational techniques coupled with nonlinear elasticity. Before joining the University of Maine, Serge pursued his undergraduate studies at the University of Balamand (Lebanon) where he worked on the mechanics of lamina containing wavy fibers.
