Research

Real-world engineering challenges inspire our research. We explore innovative designs, material architectures and morphologies at different scales, and advanced manufacturing processes, with the aim of improving efficiency and reliability of composite materials and lightweight structural systems. We are particularly interested in the optimal design of multifunctional aerospace and biomedical structures, and the reduction of the fabrication cycle time and costs of high-performance composite structures.
