Research interests

My work draws from nonlinear mechanics, materials physics, applied mathematics and numerical methods. I am particularly interested in problems of mathematical biology, biophysics and the mechanics of biology. Current research interests include: (1) growth and remodelling of biological tissue, cell adhesion and cell mechanics (2) stress-defect interactions and transport in semiconductor/microelectronic materials, and (3) problems in physics and mechanics that are described by high-order pdes, such as the Cahn-Hilliard Equation or those of gradient plasticity. For more details follow the link below to my group's home page.
