Institute of Continuum Mechanics and Biomechanics

The Institute of Continuum Mechanics and Biomechanics (LKM) engages enthusiatic researchers working on a wide range of scientific topics that apply experimental and computational mechanics to tackle various interdisciplinary research questions including mechanics of living tissues, biomaterials, and 3D printing. Through the combination of experiments, continuum mechanics modeling, and simulation, we strive to improve our understanding of the mechanical behavior of biological structures and to find innovative solutions at the interfaces of engineering, medicine and biological sciences.

This past week at the 2024 Evolution and Development of Nervous Systems conference, held at the University of Zadar, Croatia, was truly inspiring. The conference, set against the backdrop of a beautiful venue, offered a brief but memorable pause to appreciate the stunning sunset, a fitting reminder ...
