Welcome to the Soft Mechanics Lab at USC!

Our research focuses on the mechanics of soft materials and the dynamics of soft solid structures. We will bring together fundamental concepts from continuum mechanics, dynamics, material science, and biology and employ a combination of theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches to address research challenges in two areas:
(i) Mechanics and Dynamics of Soft Biological Structures
(ii) Mechanics and Dynamics of Soft Active Materials
