Luca Giomi Group - Soft and Bio Mechanics

We are interested in understanding the mechanics of soft materials, of which biological materials are prominent examples.

Soft materials are those that can be easily deformed by external stress, electromagnetic fields or just thermal fluctuations: in other words everything that is wet, squishy or floppy. To pursue this, we use a combination of analytical techniques, numerical simulations and, from time to time, some simple experiment.
