Welcome to the Valdevit research group!
Our lab addresses a variety of topics in the general area of mechanics of materials and structures. The overarching goal is the solution of technological problems through the integration of analytical, computational and experimental techniques. Depending on the specific problem at hand, we study and apply concepts and methods of solid mechanics, materials science, heat transfer and micro-fabrication. We are based in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of California, Irvine. Please, visit the RESEARCH page to learn more about active projects.
