She specialises in the use of x-ray tomography (CT) to characterise advanced bio and composite materials. Her research focuses on the bio-inspired design, advanced fabrication and material characterization of medical or energy related materials and structures, such as biomedical devices inside the human body, biological organs and thin-film organic electronic devices. The work combines the experimental characterization of structures with analytical and computational models that enable the prediction of mechanical behaviour at the micro and macro-scales.
