Overview

The organizing theme for our work is the study of problems in the processing and properties of materials, especially those related to bioengineering. We combine theory and experiments in our work. Our current interests include hybrids of biological molecules and nanomaterials, biomimetic design of surface mechanical properties, and the mechanics of soft materials.
