Welcome to the research group web site of Professor Glaucio H. Paulino at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Our group's contributions in the area of computational mechanics include development of methodologies to characterize deformation and fracture behavior of existing and emerging materials and structural systems. Additionally, our current research work spans topology optimization for large-scale and multiscale/multiphysics problems. Professor Paulino has devoted significant efforts to increasing collaborative work between the scientific communities in mechanics and materials from the U.S. and developing countries through a series of workshops funded by the National Science Foundation, including events in Brazil, Argentina, and South Africa.
