Mechanics and Extremes @ KAIST. We tackle the complex engineering problems in emerging areas of Mechanics + Multiphysics, Materials in Extreme and Soft Matter using a suite of modeling, experimentation and computation. We are particularly interested in understanding physical principles underlying the large deformation, flow and interactions of solids and (macro- and micro-) structures (and liquids/fluids) in extreme, (multiphysics) coupled and aerospace settings.
