Follow us on Github Follow usWe are a dynamic research group at the National Technical University of Athens. Our aim is to explore and understand the response of advanced materials, structural components, and structures. To this end we strive to deliver outputs across the spectrum of numerical simulation, from pipeline automation to nonlinear solvers and constitutive modelling. To this end, we deliver 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. –
