Claire Acevedo's research focuses on biomechanics, fracture mechanics, and skeletal tissues. Her lab investigates deformation mechanisms and fracture biological responses in skeletal tissues and biomaterials, spanning from molecular to macro scales. By bridging the gap between materials mechanics and biology using experimental high-energy X-ray physics, her work strives to unravel the origins of bone fragility and skeletal diseases, which informs the design principles of biomaterials. Before joining UC San Diego's Jacobs School of Engineering in Fall 2023 as an Associate Professor, Acevedo served as an Assistant Professor at the University of Utah. She earned her Ph.D. from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland and worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
Administered by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Curricular groups include Climate-Ocean-Atmosphere (COAP), Geosciences (GEO), and Ocean Biosciences (OBP).
