Project

Abscission and self-repair in biological and artificial materials systems
In the framework of a biomimetic bottom-up approach my research aim is to conduct in-depth morphological, anatomical and biomechanical analyses of suitable role models in order to learn exemplarily from bonding, debonding and self-repair of biological materials systems.
Through interdisciplinary collaborations with project partners, we will be able to carry out modelling and simulations, design and manufacture technical materials systems, and create material ontologies.
