Research interests

The focus of my investigations is on the mathematical modelling of real-world problems within a biological context, which, may be divided into two strands. The first addresses theoretical, modelling, and computational issues of specific classes of biomechanical problems. The second focuses on the constitutive characterisation of markedly heterogeneous materials distinguished by different characteristic length scales.
