Our group works in the area of computational modelling of the mechanical behaviour of materials. In my view the most important open question in this area is: "How would we incorporate evolution of microstructure to describe the mechanical response of a material?"

We develop and use computational techniques based on 

1. Discrete particle models

2. Phase field models

to study diverse problems in the mechanical behaviour of materials.

Currently I teach the following undergraduate and graduate courses

1. Design of Mechanical Systems 1

2. Design of Thermal and Fluid Systems

3. Mechanics of Materials with Microstructure
