Our Focus:
At the Materials as Machines Lab, we focus on researching and developing novel materials. We are particularly interested in smart materials that can respond to external stimuli and exhibit machine-like behaviour.
Our Research Interests:
- Innovative Material Design – Researching and developing materials with unique properties such as self-healing, shape memory, and responsive behaviour.
- Material Analysis and Modelling – Testing and characterizing material properties and modelling complex, non-linear polymer systems.
- Manufacturing Optimization – Optimizing manufacturing and perfecting processing methods to fabricate high-performance materials.
- Advanced Material Integration and Application – Collaborating with industry partners to integrate novel materials in practical applications, like smart prosthetics and artificial muscles.
