Major Research Interests

Our research is concerned with the elasticity and rheology of amorphous materials. Current research projects involve the mechanics of cytoskeletal networks/bundles, as well as the jamming transition in suspensions, emulsions or granular materials. For more information on our research projects please take a look at the group's homepage.
