Biography

Damiano Pasini is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at McGill University, where he holds the Tier 1 Canada Research Chair and is a James McGill Professor. His research is primarily focused on materials structures, particularly in the areas of solid mechanics, multiscale mechanics, and mechanical metamaterials such as lattices, kirigami, and origami. Pasini's work combines theoretical analysis with computational mechanics to develop constitutive models that are validated through experiments. He is also interested in the intersection of materials with fields such as aerospace, soft robotics, and packaging, exploring how controlled architecture can lead to the development of novel materials with desirable properties. Through his research group, Architected Metamaterials Group, he aims to advance the understanding and application of mechanics within these domains, bridging fundamental and applied research.
