About

Alice Lamaro is a materials scientist whose work bridges the gap between unconventional mechanics and functional materials. Her research focuses on the design and characterization of bulk metallic glasses, particularly their use in compliant morphing structures. In her most-cited paper, "Compliant morphing structures from twisted bulk metallic glass ribbons" (2020), Lamaro demonstrated how simple mechanical twisting can transform brittle metallic glass ribbons into flexible, shape-adaptive components. This work, with 12 citations, represents a novel approach to creating lightweight, durable structures for applications in soft robotics and aerospace. Beyond this study, Lamaro has contributed to understanding the deformation mechanisms of metallic glasses at small scales, offering insights into their potential for micro-electromechanical systems. Her research is notable for combining fundamental materials physics with practical engineering challenges, making her a rising voice in the field of advanced structural materials.
