My research is concerned with the mechanics of thin elastic objects, with particular focus on the interplay of elastic instabilities, surface tension and thermal fluctuations. I use a mix of mathematical methods to gain physical insight into idealisations of natural systems (e.g. composite materials and animal locomotion) as well as engineered objects (e.g. mechanical metamaterials).
