Bio/Research
We are interested in the micromechanics of hybrid materials, which are combinations of one material and space (e.g. foams and lattices), or of at least two monolithic materials (e.g. composites and several biological materials). We aim at predicting their macroscopic behavior from an understanding of their microstructure.
The main research trust is to develop structures with controlled micro-architecture, where materials and/or space are optimally structured at the microscale to obtain unprecedented physical properties at the macroscale. Our work finds a balance between fundamental and applied research, where Nature is often our object and source of inspiration.
Current projects stem mainly from biomedical and aerospace applications, besides from interdisciplinary collaborations with biology and architecture. Our expertise integrates multiscale mechanics and biomechanics, besides optimal design and biomimetics.
