Research interests
We develop hierarchical bioinspired materials with contradicting properties (e.g. tough and strong, stiff and dissipative). Using 3D printing, we exploit directed- & self-assembly of natural or carbon-based materials across multiple length scales in order to study the role of anisotropy and porosity and apply these microstructural designs to large structures.
