Professor Tadmor's research is focused on the development of state-of-the-art physics-based and machine learning methods for modeling the thermo-mechanical behavior and failure of solid-state and 2D materials. He uses a range of approaches including theoretical mechanics, the finite element method (FEM), molecular dynamics, and multiscale methods that span across length and time scales that he pioneered. He is also interested, on a more basic level, in the connection between continuum and thermodynamic theory and the underlying atomistic scale using ideas from statistical mechanics.
