Mechanics & Extremes @ kaist. We tackle challenging problems in the emerging areas of Solid Mechanics and Condensed Matter in Extremes. The central thrust of the group is to understand the mechanistic underpinnings of large deformation, flow and interactions of solids and condensed matter, and harness this understanding to help design better new materials, microstructures and devices in extreme, coupled settings. Our current research focuses on...
Continuum mechanics of solids and (hard/soft) condensed matter
(Statistical) Mechanics of extreme and rare events
Mechanics and geometry
Micromechanics and heterogeneous materials
