I am a research engineer interested in understanding, modelling and optimising of the mechanical response of materials. I work as Associate Professor of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford, where I lead the Mechanics of Materials Lab.

Please do not hesitate to get in contact if you think we could collaborate; I am very much open to new ideas and suggestions and I am keen to cooperate with other researchers in academia or industry. Outstanding students and researchers are welcome to inquire regarding PhD and postdoc opportunities.
