What is the interplay between molecular self-assembly and cellular control over the biological material texture and morphology? We address this question across different time and length scales. We strive to extract design principles from biological materials in order to develop bio-inspired material and processes.

Chitin-based Biological Materials and Biomineralization
We aim at establishing direct correlation between organ morphology, composition and chitin fiber arrangement, in terms of microstructure, fiber alignment and orientation and the spatial arrangement of different microstructural motifs within a functional organ/tool.
