Research Interests:
Lesko's research is primarily focused on the mechanics of composite material systems. He and his advisees investigated the interdisciplinary aspects of durability and damage mechanics for polymeric and composite material systems. His work has resulted in the implementation of in-service structures/systems using new multifunctional composite technologies and the creation of reliability based standards for their design in industrial and international codes. Currently, Lesko is exploring distributed and utility interoperable power transfer systems for the evolving smart grid, including the policy and economic aspects of future deployments.
