Thermally induced deformations in multi-layered polymeric struts
Stimulus activated structures that deform from a reference to target configurations are used in various fields such as soft robotics, smart materials, and actuators. In this work we introduce a framework that captures the non-linear response of multi-layer polymeric beams subjected to thermo-mechanical loading. We show that the exploitation of the glass transition temperature can lead to a wide variety of interesting responses. Our findings provide guideline for an efficient design of shape-morphing structures capable of polymorphism.

One fully funded PhD position in the Solids Mechanics Lab (LMS) at Ecole Polytechnique, France
A Ph.D. position is available in the Solids Mechanics Laboratory (LMS) at Ecole Polytechnique in the Paris area in France.
The project is to investigate three-dimensional instabilities in magneto-active thin films heterogeneously patterned by design.
The proposed thesis includes both experimental (3D printing of magneto-sensitive polymers) and numerical (finite element) aspects.

Living muscle-driven pumps with flow loop feedback
Tissue-engineered living machines is an emerging discipline that employs complex interactions between living cells and engineered scaffolds to self-assemble biohybrid systems for diverse scientific research and technological applications. Here, we report an adaptive, autonomous biohybrid pumping machine with flow loop feedback powered by engineered living muscles. The tissue is made from skeletal muscle cells (C2C12) and collagen I/Matrigel matrix, which self-assembles into a ring that compresses a soft hydrogel tube connected at both ends to a rigid fluidic platform.
