Interdisciplinary Research at RESILiAB
We bridge the gap between biology and engineering to develop resilient systems and adaptive meta-biomaterials. Our lab at Politecnico di Milano integrates mechanical engineering with bio-inspired design to create materials that evolve and endure in complex environments.
Research Areas
Bio-inspired Materials
We explore the structural principles of biological systems to design materials with superior mechanical resilience and adaptive properties.
Meta-biomaterials
Engineering metamaterials that mimic the hierarchical complexity of living tissues, enabling unprecedented control over physical behavior.
Smart Material Mechanics
We investigate the real-time response of materials to external stimuli, focusing on self-healing and shape-memory capabilities.
Multiscale Modeling
Developing computational frameworks that bridge the gap between molecular dynamics and macro-scale mechanical performance.
