Lorenzo Guiducci is a Researcher at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin’s Cluster of Excellence 'Matters of Activity'. He holds a PhD in Physics, Science of Biomaterials from the University of Potsdam, where he studied mechanical actuation in plant seed capsules and cellular solids. His interdisciplinary research focuses on bio-inspired materials, mechanical metamaterials, and the relationship between local composition and global material behavior. Research interests include: Structure-function relationships in biological systems and engineered materials Self-morphing structures and programmable matter Integration of engineering simulations with traditional fabrication techniques like weaving Biomimetic approaches to material design and actuation His publications predominantly explore biomimetic materials, textile mechanics, architectural biomimetics, and theoretical frameworks for active matter. Recent works emphasize interdisciplinary intersections between design, physics, and materials science. He has supervised Master's students including Heidi Jalkh ('Making matter sensitive through form') and Rebeca Estrada Duque ('Assisting tool for designing hygroscopic systems'). His involvement in the 'Material Form Function' project investigates biological-mechanical metamaterial convergence. Guiducci co-leads design workshops (e.g., 'Scaling Nature' series) and contributes to exhibitions like 'Design Lab #13: Material Legacies' at Berlin’s Kunstgewerbemuseum.
