Our research is focused on the interface of (finite) deformation, flow and interaction of solids, materials, microstructures and liquids/fluids in extreme and coupled settings, spanning theoretical mechanics, applied and computational mathematics and physics, and materials science.

Research themes:

• Continuum mechanics, rheology and statistical mechanics of solids and condensed matter: polymeric solids and liquids, and crystalline matter

• Mechanics + geometry + topology and additive manufacturing for multi-functional mechanical devices and robotic matter

• Scientific computing and physical applied mathematics for aerospace computational design; Matter vs. extreme, coupled environments
