Biography

Michel Destrade is the Established Professor of Applied Mathematics at NUI Galway. Previously, he worked successively as a Junior Marie Curie Fellow (FP4) in Mathematical Physics at University College Dublin; as a Visiting Assistant Professor in Mathematics at Texas A&M University, USA; as a Chargé de Recherche with the French National Research Agency CNRS at the Institut d'Alembert, Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France (currently on leave), and as a Senior Marie Curie Fellow (FP7) in Mechanical Engineering at University College Dublin (currently Visiting Professor of Mechanical Engineering).

His research interests are in nonlinear elasticity, in stability of elastomers and biological soft tissues, and in linear, linearised, and non-linear waves. In those fields, he has authored or co- authored 3 invited book chapters and more than 100 publications in refereed international journals. He has coordinated an advanced course at the International Centre for Mechanical Sciences in Udine, Italy. He has served as Guest Editor for special issues of Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids, International Journal of Nonlinear Mechanics, IMA Journal of Applied Mathematics, and International Journal of Engineering Science.

He is currently on the editorial boards of Proceedings of the Royal Society A, Quarterly Journal of Mechanics and Applied Mathematics, Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, International Journal of Applied Mechanics, and International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics. He is a member of the International Brain Mechanics and Trauma Lab.

His research has been supported by grants awarded, among others, by the European Commission; the Royal Society; the British Council; the Agence Nationale pour la Recherche; the CNRS; the British Science Association, Science Foundation Ireland; Enterprise Ireland; and IRCSET. 

Keywords: nonlinear elasticity, elastic waves, acousto-elasticity, biomechanics of skin and brain matter, instability of soft matter.

Research Interests

I am mostly interested in applying the principles of Continuum Mechanics to the modelling of soft matter, including biological tissues and gels. The equations of motion can be written down to take into account all characteristics of these materials, including coupling with other fields such as electromagnetism or fluid dynamics, but great care must be taken when large deformations are considered.

Keywords: Stability of soft solids/tissues; Acousto-elasticity; Modelling of Skin and Brain.
