Welcome to our homepage
Follow us on GithubWe are an evolving research group at the National Technical University of Athens. Focal point of our research is to explore, understand, and predict the response of advanced materials and structural components with the overarching aim of delivering safe, resilient and sustainable structures.
To this end we strive to deliver outputs across the spectrum of numerical simulation and material design, from pipeline automation and nonlinear solvers to topology optimisation and AI. Our work results in novel simulation techniques to address complex, coupled, and rapidly evolving physics across multiple scales. We further strive to consistently back up our methods with rigorous experimental testing (see Research).
We are always looking for passionate new PhD students, Postdocs, and Master students to join the team –(more info)–
– We greatfully acknowledge funding received from the National Technical University of Athens, the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation, and the European Commission in support of our research endeavours. –
