Projects

Research projects

Our projects develop mathematical models, numerical methods, and computational tools for soft materials and structures undergoing large deformations, instabilities, contact, and multiphysics loading.

The group combines theoretical continuum mechanics with finite element and discontinuous Galerkin methods, aiming at physically consistent models and reproducible open-source implementations.
