Professor Meza’s research investigates mechanics of architected materials at micro- and nanometer length scales. He studies methods that harness novel properties of nanomaterials and bulk materials, employing a range of micro- and nanofabrication techniques to create new classes of nanoarchitected materials with unprecedented mechanical properties. His work includes developing ceramics that can endure up to 50% strain through fractal-like architectures, and he focuses on bioinspired materials, replicating the complexity of natural materials at small scales. He is particularly interested in the behavior of materials in extreme environments including irradiation, high temperatures, and ballistic impacts, as well as designing materials with improved electrical and thermal performance to create multifunctional materials, notably in biocompatible applications for medical devices.
