I am University Assistant (postdoc) at the Institute of Analysis of JKU Linz lead by Manuel Friedrich.
My research concerns the analysis of problems from continuum mechanics and materials science by means of the calculus of variations and the theory of partial differential equations. Specific research topics include:
• large-strain models for magnetic and nematic elastomers;
• cavitation and fracture in nonlinear elasticity;
• quasi-static and rate-independent evolutions;
• reduced theories for thin structures.
The recording of a recent talk of mine is available here .
