 arch Fellow\nDepartment of Mechanical Engineering\nUniversity of Michigan\
 , Ann Arbor\n\nAbstract\nMechanical metamaterials facilitate the manipulat
 ion of vibrations and elastic waves in structures\, a useful feature that 
 has been leveraged in numerous engineering applications. Recently\, resear
 chers integrated topological phase theory from condensed matter physics in
 to mechanical metamaterials to create topological metamaterials. Topologic
 al metamaterials enable the confinement of elastic waves within waveguides
  that follow complex pathways and are immune to losses caused by structura
 l imperfections. While topological metamaterials hold immense promise\, re
 search gaps exist that hinder their broad implementation and provide oppor
 tunities for scientific advancement. This research seeks to address these 
 gaps by pioneering a new class of advanced topological metamaterials that 
 achieve tunable\, broadband\, easily integrated\, and multidimensional ela
 stic wave control. A 2D piezoelectric metamaterial and a 3D metastable met
 amaterial are created that achieve unprecedented adaptive capabilities. A 
 3D topological metamaterial is devised that exploits the rich dimensionali
 ty of 3D resonant structures to attain frequency-\, polarization-\, and la
 yer-dependent wave control. Finally\, higher-order topological phases are 
 used to synthesize a topological metamaterial with innovative features tha
 t are leveraged to investigate wave control in fractal geometries and achi
 eve wave-based mechanical logic. Overall\, this research establishes groun
 dbreaking wave control capabilities and uncovers new fundamental insight i
 nto the interplay between topological and elastic wave physics.\n\nBiograp

 's Structural Dynamics and Controls Laboratory at the University of Michig
 an in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. He received his Ph.D. in M
 echanical Engineering from the University of Michigan in 2023 under the ad
 visement of Prof. Wang. He received his Bachelor of Science in Mechanical 
 Engineering at the University of Notre Dame in 2015\, where he conducted r
 esearch under the direction of Prof. Steven Schmid. Upon completing his un
 dergraduate studies and prior to his graduate education\, he worked for tw
