What do we do?

Our lab explores bistable and multistable structures, with applications in Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), robotics and adaptive structures. We combine theoretical analysis, numerical simulations, and experimental testing to gain deep insights into nonlinear dynamics, combined with electrostatic actuation, to discover new phenomena that will inspire new applications that can be developed, from multivalued and non-volatile mechanical memories/MEMS-based sensors with computation abilities to multivalued authentication devices,  multivalued random number generators, and much more.

Why join us?

Competitive fellowships – thanks to a prestigious European Research Council (ERC)  grant, as well as a grant from the Ministry of Science & Technology, we offer generous stipends and strong research funding.

International collaborations – including with the University of Cambridge and other leading institutions.

Exposure to theoretical modelling, numerical simulations, and hands-on experiments –  develop a well-rounded skill set.

Opportunities for publications and conferences around the world.

A dynamic and supportive research environment.
