Research

In the Multiscale Computational Mechanics and Biomechanics LAB (MCMB LAB), we develop advanced numerical methods and modern top-down optimization schemes to simulate and optimize biological and biomimetic materials. Our research lies in the broad areas of numerical optimization, bio-inspired material design, and computational modeling of the damage mechanisms of biological materials, encompassing a wide spectrum of methodologies ranging from micromechanics to multi-scale simulations.
