The aim of my research is to establish numerical tools for designing optimal structures and materials. In particular, optimization methods for nonlinear materials and structures will be studied. My research will focus on structural optimization problems subjected to non trivial constraints, such as stress constraints with regards to large deformations. This could for instance be used to design structures with exceptional or desirable properties.
