Citation | Alain Goriely has made fundamental contributions across a wide range of fields by combining state-of-the-art mathematics and methodologies with cutting-edge applications. In materials science, his models were key in the understanding and development of emerging technologies for renewable energy. In mechanics, he has contributed to differential-geometric foundations for generalized continua and has identified new instabilities in the theory of elastic filaments with stunning applications to biology and physics. His work has also been central to the development of a complete mathematical theory of biological growth and he has made major contributions to our understanding of brain mechanics, morphogenesis, and trauma. |
