Research Interests and History
Oscar Lopez-Pamies is interested
in the mechanics and physics of heterogeneous materials with a particular
emphasis on soft-matter systems. His recent research focuses
on the mathematical modeling and experimental characterization of
the effective properties of polymer-based composities including
reinforced elastomers, foams, block copolymers, and shape memory
polymers. Other areas of recent focus include the analysis of instabilities
in finitely deformed solids such as cavitation and shear/compaction
bands in rubbery materials.
