John A, Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences,
Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138, USA
and
Emergent Complexity in Physical Systems Laboratory
Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne, Switzerland
Education:
2011-2915 Doctorate in fluid-structure interaction, Ecole Polytechnique
Biography:
Dr. Virot is a postdoctoral fellow who has worked on biomechanics (resistance of trees, popcorn,
phyllotaxis...), fluid-structure interactions (energy harvesting from fluttering flags) and fracture
(dynamic crack propagation in rubber).
He is currently working on elastic buckling thresholds in the presence of defects with Shmuel
Rubinstein and Tobias Schneider (EPFL, Switzerland).
Dr. Virot writes, “I am currently postdoctoral fellow in École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) (with Tobias Schneider) and Harvard University (with Shmuel Rubinstein).”
Research Interests:
I am interested in taming elastic instabilities that deform engineered objects (such as thin shells and thin plates), and in identifying physical constraints shaping natural objects (such as animals and plants).
