Mechanics & Extremes @ KAIST. We tackle the complex engineering problems in the emerging areas of Mechanics, Multiphysics and Materials in Extremes using a suite of modeling, experimentation and computation. The central focus of the group is to understand the mechanistic underpinnings of the large deformation, flow and interactions of solids and condensed matter, and harness this understanding to help design better new materials and microstructures in extreme and coupled settings.
