Biological protein materials provide the foundation for the integration of structure and material, thereby enabling the inclusion of molecular and multi-scale features in the material design process.
We are particular interested in the combination of disparate properties in biological materials, such as strength, robustness, great elasticity, adaptability, changeability, or evolvability. We use an interdisciplinary approach for the analysis that combines supercomputer atomistic and multi-scale modeling with theoretical model development.
