Varvara Kouznetsova is an Associate Professor in the Multi-scale Mechanics of Solids group at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). Her research aims to understand, predict, and tailor the structure-property-performance relations of natural and engineering functional materials, based on the underlying microstructural phenomena that lead to emerging behavior at the macroscopic application scale. She focuses on the fundamental and methodological development of multi-scale techniques applicable to materials related to various physical phenomena. Her work covers a range of topics, including advanced high-strength steels, metamaterials, static structural behavior, wave propagation phenomena, and damage fracture development. Kouznetsova's work aims to bring multi-scale mechanics to a new level, focusing on the emergent multi-scale behavior due to non-trivial interactions across space and time scales. This research results in the development of new metamaterials with unprecedented properties, leading to new technologies and devices. Her interests include how small-scale, invisible phenomena can lead to the emergence of large-scale effects and their unprecedented impact.
