Daniel Millán

Daniel Millán serves as Professor of Strength of Materials at the Mechanical Engineering Department, School of Industry-Applied Sciences, National University of Cuyo. He concurrently holds leadership positions as Director of the Institute I CAI CONICET-UNCuyo, Director of the Mechanical Engineering Department, Independent Researcher at CONICET, and Head of the MoCCAI research group.

His research spans computational modelling and advanced numerical methods for engineering, with core expertise in:

• High-order phase-field modeling of fracture mechanics in thin-shells
• Thin-shell flexoelectric metamaterials
• Automatic data-driven collective variables identification
• Multiscale mechanobiological modeling of cerebral arteries
• Cerebral aneurysm morphometry and rupture risk assessment
• Ultrasonic analysis for additive manufacturing evaluation

Analysis of his 2019-2024 publications reveals dominant themes in cerebral aneurysm biomechanics (using Kirchhoff-Love shell theory for patient-specific modeling) and fracture mechanics in thin structures. His work bridges theoretical numerical methods like phase-field modeling with practical applications in biomedical engineering and material science, particularly in ultrasonic characterization of ice composites.

As leader of the MoCCAI research group, he directs computational mechanics initiatives focused on developing advanced numerical techniques for solving complex engineering and biomedical problems through interdisciplinary collaboration.
