I work at the interface between nonlinear analysis of pde's/calculus of variations and the mechanics of materials and elastic structures. Nonlinear (finite-deformation) elasticity is the central model of continuum solid mechanics. It has a vast range of applications, including flexible engineering structures, biological structures — both macroscopic and molecular, and materials like elastomers and shape-memory alloys. Although the beginnings of the subject date back to Cauchy, the current state of existence theory is generally poor; there are many open problems.
