Julia Greer is a researcher at the California Institute of Technology, specializing in nanomechanics, nano structures, nano fabrication, and the mechanical properties of materials at micro and nanoscale levels. Her work explores the relationship between microstructure and mechanical behavior, focusing on how size affects the strength, ductility, and resilience of metallic and ceramic systems. She investigates deformation mechanisms, such as dislocation starvation and strain gradients, and develops advanced fabrication techniques for 3D nano-architected materials. Her research also extends to electronic-mechanical coupling and structural color printing, emphasizing the interplay between material design and functional performance.
