Matteo Galli, post-doc
Dr Galli is collaborating with Dr Michelle L. Oyen. The project has the objective of establishing a methodology for the assessment of the time-dependent response of biomimetic bone-like nanocomposites. The characterization of the material behaviour is carried out according to a combined experimental-numerical multiscale approach. His publications may be found on his website
