Research:
Valdevit’s research is in the general area of mechanics of materials and structures. He has worked on the optimal design of multi-functional sandwich structures for aerospace applications (hypersonic vehicles in particular), and the thermo-mechanical characterization of organic substrates for the electronics packaging industry (in collaboration with IBM Research). Beyond these topics, his current interests include the design and fabrication of high-authority micro-scale morphing structures and the development of analytical and experimental techniques to probe the bio-mechanical behavior of mammalian cells.
