MATTERS Group

MATTERS: Materials & Architected Technologies for Tailored Engineering & Resource Solutions

MATTERS Group develop "architected matter" that provides precise properties tailored to specific needs in engineering applications.

By adopting principles from natural material and geometric hierarchies, the group enables ground-breaking advancements in structural designs using the combination of matter and geometry across the scales to obtain properties not achievable using typical materials and geometry, enhancing performance and efficiency while minimizing resource consumption.
