This group focuses on applying and developing computational methods to solve various challenges related to materials and processes with important environmental impact, focusing on problems where the interplay of chemistry, phase transformation, microstructure, mechanics and damage plays an important role. Advances in the understanding of chemical reactions, chemo-mechanical interaction, mechanical behavior, defect evolution and material degradation, from atomistic scales up to continuum level, are required to resolve many of the most pressing challenges and achieve the goal of material sustainability.
