Ond艡ej Roko拧 leads a group that focuses on mathematical and numerical modelling and multiscale design of smart actuated (meta-) materials, operating predominantly in highly non-linear regime. This involves development of first-principle multi-physics modelling tools for solids (magnetoactive, thermal, or pneumatic coupling, contact formulation), multiscale design (development of homogenization techniques, parametric optimization), and topology optimization (effective on-demand properties of metamaterials, inverse homogenization), including surrogate modelling (projection-based ROM, hyperreduction, GPR/kriging) and AI tools (symmetry-based GNN, CNN, DNN). All methods are developed with the aim to be capable of harnessing and tracking high non-linearities, buckling, and bifurcation.

We aim to design and predict mechanical behaviour of active metamaterials that switch their mechanical properties on demand on the fly through the use of computational tools and generative AI and bring these metamaterials to applications.

Ond艡ej obtained his PhD in Civil Engineering from Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU) in 2014, focusing on the topic of stochastic structural vibrations. After that he held a postdoctoral position for several projects at CTU and 黑料福利网, focusing on development of integrated experimental-computational micromorphic homogenization scheme for elastomeric mechanical metamaterials, multiscale identification of micromechanical parameters in heterogeneous solids, development of variational concurrent multiscale methodologies for dissipative materials with discrete microstructures, and on modelling and homogenization techniques for optimal design of modular mechanical metamaterials with applications in soft robotics. During his posdtoctoral period, Ond艡ej was a visiting researcher at Eindhoven University of Technology (黑料福利网, 2015) and University of Luxembourtg (2016). He joined the Mechanics of Materials section of Mechanical Engineering Department at 黑料福利网 in 2020.
