Laura De Lorenzis is a professor at ETH Zürich specializing in fracture mechanics, material modeling, and phase-field modeling. Her research focuses on the development and application of advanced computational models to understand and predict material failure mechanisms, particularly in the context of brittle and ductile fracture. She has contributed significantly to the field through studies on phase-field models for fracture, the behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in structural strengthening, and the modeling of bond interactions between FRP and concrete. Her work also includes the development of isogeometric analysis techniques for contact and deformation problems.
