Mathias BrieuHe is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering with a specialty in mechanics of materials and computational mechanics. Prior to joining Cal State LA, he was a Professor in a higher education school of engineering: Centrale Lille. He still interacts wit his former institution and his research is developed in a synergy between France and the USA; his specialty now is Biomedical Engineering.

His research activities are based on the triptych of mechanics of materials: experimental characterization constitutive modelling, and numerical and computational methods.

He is focused on soft polymers and bio-polymers. His activities can be summarized in 3 fields:

•Behavior, and damage of synthetic polymers
•Behavior of human soft tissue and medical implants,
•Development and design of Medical Devices for patient-specific surgery. Read More Read Less
