Welcome to the Inspired Lab

Inspired Lab focuses on understanding natural materials' structures, properties, and designs, using a multidisciplinary approach. Structural biological materials have composite microstructures, with hierarchically organized constituents, which affect their overall mechanical behavior. The interplay between structure, form, and mechanics of biological materials is observed throughout the spectrum and thus understanding fundamental relations is very challenging because of its highly multidisciplinary nature. We are in the process of building a creative, collaborative, and open-minded Research Lab.
