About Us
The research of the lab integrates engineering and life sciences to tackle challenges in tissues mechanics and bioinspired engineering components. Specializing in soft tissue biomechanics and bioinspired materials, we use biomechanics, materials science, and computational modeling to understand biological tissue mechanics and develop innovative healthcare solutions.
