Larry Murcia Terranova

Larry Murcia is a PhD student in Civil Engineering at Florida International University and a PhD student in Mathematics and Modeling at the University of L’Aquila. He holds a Master’s degree in Applied Mathematics from Universidad Nacional de Colombia and a degree in Applied Mathematics from Pontificia Universidad Javeriana. His research interests include variational modeling, nonlinear dynamics, solid mechanics, metamaterials, and nonlinear oscillatory systems.

Larry is currently working on variational models for metamaterials and granular materials, focusing on the development and analysis of mathematical frameworks for complex mechanical systems with nonlinear and emergent behavior. His work also involves the study of periodic responses and stability properties in MEMS oscillators, as well as computational approaches for modeling structured materials.
