We are an interdisciplinary research group in the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at TU Delft.
Natural materials demonstrate remarkable capabilities in their organisation, and ability to sense, adapt and grow. Despite successful research aimed at implementing biological design principles in synthetic materials, man-made manufacturing technologies remain limited compared to the elegant features of living organisms. We're interested in exploiting some of the hallmarks of living systems, and express them in sustainable engineering materials such as composites. We aim to develop materials and structures that behave like living organisms. We focus on three key areas:
We believe that addressing societal problems requires team-work, therefore we like to work with other research groups and industry of diverse backgrounds! Feel free to get in touch! |
