We combine mathematical modeling, mechanics and computations to understand the small-scale mechanics of materials and biological systems. Common themes are the nonlinear mechanics of two-dimensional materials and structures (shells, graphene, biomembranes, epithelia), geometry, continuum and computational mechanics, or the connection between molecular/microscopic and continuum models. Our current focus is on cell and tissue mechanobiology.
Associated Researcher at the Institute of Bioengineering of Catalunya (IBEC).
