David Steigmann

Professor David Steigmann is a Diamond Jubilee International Visiting Fellow at the University of Southampton from 2016 to 2019. His host is Professor Georges Limbert, Associate Professor in Engineering and the Environment. The collaboration aims to advance theories and computational methods for predicting surface instabilities in multi-layered systems such as biological membranes and engineering thin films.

Research focuses include:

• Developing peridynamics-based theories for material anisotropy effects on wrinkling instabilities
• Exploring multi-layered biological structures
• Establishing an international research network in these fields

No scientific awards or grant details are explicitly mentioned. No advised students are listed. The collaboration emphasizes interdisciplinary research between mechanical engineering, materials science, and biomedical applications.
