About
Carlos Perez-Garcia is a rising leader in the mechanics of architected materials and soft active structures. His research focuses on the intersection of additive manufacturing, finite deformation mechanics, and magneto-active materials—pioneering computational frameworks that enable the design of next-generation soft robots and bioengineering devices. In his highly cited 2022 work, Perez-Garcia developed a novel beam formulation and finite element framework for architected structures under large deformations, directly addressing key roadblocks in translating advanced 3D-printed materials into functional applications. His 2025 study on topology and material optimization in ultra-soft magneto-active structures (stiffness below 10 kPa) introduced groundbreaking strategies to exploit residual anisotropies for remote actuation in biologically relevant environments. With over 9 citations across his most prominent papers, Perez-Garcia’s contributions are shaping how researchers model and optimize the complex magneto-mechanical coupling in ultra-soft materials. His work is particularly notable for bridging theoretical mechanics with practical design tools, offering transformative pathways for soft robotics and bioengineering where precise, remote control of compliant structures is essential.
