Research interests:
My research is focused on the mathematical description of highly deformable materials, structures and systems with a particular interest in:
Soft Robotics and flexible multibody dynamics
- Dynamics and control of soft robots using finite element formulations
- Development of tailor-made simulation environments for flexible multibody systems
- Contact mechanics within the field of nonsmooth dynamics
Mechanical metamaterials and computational mechanics
- Development of novel mathematical theories for micro-structured materials
- Design, modeling and analysis of materials with second-gradient elasticity effects
- Variational formulations and numerical treatment of spatial nonlinear beam theories
