A sustainable society depends on high-performance, durable materials. To achieve this, we study the microscale damage & failure mechanisms by integration of micromechanical testing, microscopic characterization & numerical simulation.

Making materials durable by unraveling deformation and failure at the microscale.

My research group specializes in experimental-numerical micromechanics to unravel the micromechanical behavior of materials and material systems in order to achieve superieur mechanical performance and durability at the scale of application. This is done in two ways:
