Micronano Mechanics Group

Welcome to the Micronano Mechanics Group at Stanford University.

Our research focuses on the mechanics of materials at the micro- and nano-scale. We combine theoretical modeling, computational simulations (MD, MC, FEM), and experimental characterization to understand fundamental deformation mechanisms and physical properties of advanced materials.

We are particularly interested in rare events, polymer networks, energy storage materials, and developing novel algorithms for accelerating atomic-scale simulations.
