Biomaterials
In the field of biomaterials, we investigate advanced material mechanics. Our work includes theoretical and numerical simulations of material behavior, the development of advanced composite materials, and the creation of models for predicting the survival rates of dental restorations. We also explore sustainable solutions, such as the conversion of greenhouse gases into biomolecular materials, contributing to a greener and more sustainable future.
