Multiscale Modeling of Supramolecular Materials

Multiscale computational models to understand and design complex (bio)materials from their nanoscale building blocks.

Our Team

The Giuntoli group aims to be a diverse and fostering environment where team members learn and improve every day, in science and beyond. We are also part of the larger Micromechanics team.

Our Research

The foundation of our research is polymer and soft matter physics, which determines the structure-property relationships and functioning of man-made and natural soft materials. We use the knowledge gained from our fundamental research to design and opmize materials for a sustainable future and of biomedical relevance, and we develop new computational models to reach our goals.
