Bio/Research
In 2015 Kosmrlj became assistant professor at Princeton University, where he continues theoretical and computational research of complex systems ranging from materials science to the physics of living systems. Current research includes the design and mechanics of metamaterials, where geometrical shape of structures gives rise to unusual material properties. This includes the role of geometry and topology on the mechanics of structures both at the macro-scale and at the micro-scale, where effects of thermal fluctuations and disorder could be important if one wants to design flexible electronics, sensitive force sensors or micro-actuators. Current research also includes studies of protein aggregates, which have been implicated in a vide variety of diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, and are also one limiting factor for drugs that are used for regulating diabetes.
