We engage in research and teaching on computational modeling and simulation of mechanical and multiphysics systems. Our research activities focus on

• multiscale material modeling,
• coupled multifield problems,
• fracture mechanics,
• topology optimization,
• biomechanics, and
• associated discretization methods in the context of the finite element method, isogeometric analysis and spectral methods.

Our teaching activities range from fundamentals in engineering mechanics to advanced courses on continuum and computational mechanics to specialized courses such as plasticity theory or ice mechanics.
