M. Gargourimotlagh (Mostafa)

I work at the intersection of damage mechanics, reliability, and tribology, exploring how mechanical systems and processes degrade, fail, and perform over time.

A defining feature of my work is the continuous two-way dialogue between experimental mechanics and numerical predictive tools. I am particularly interested in moving beyond solutions that rely on low-fidelity models, unrealistic assumptions, or methods that risk becoming outdated as technology advances. For me, developing meaningful mechanical solutions means combining scientific and mathematical rigour with the ability to anticipate and adapt to emerging technologies and new ways of understanding mechanical systems.
