Field of research
My group develops and applies simulation methods from atomic to continuum scale, mainly for mechanical problems surrounding interfaces, such as friction or adhesion. We are currently moving in the direction of the mechanics of soft materials. A rising star could should be interested in the mechanics of emergent soft materials (hydrogels, metamaterials, bioinspired composites, etc.).
