Research Activities
My research focuses on the multiscale mechanics of biological tissues, using both experimental and theoretical approaches. I am in particular interested on how mechanical loadings are transfered from the macroscopic scale (at the size of the body) to the microscopic, cellular, scale, and how this induces a remodeling of the tissue in response. This is particularly interesting in the case of tissues with few cells, as dermis, cornea, bone, wood, biofilm and many others.
