This lecture explores the exciting world of architected materials—materials engineered not just by what they are made of, but how they are structured. Unlike traditional materials, their properties are derived from intricate designs at the micro, meso, and macro scales, allowing us to overcome limitations imposed by scarce or unsustainable resources. By optimizing structure rather than relying solely on chemical composition of material, we can create stronger, lighter, and more durable materials while reducing waste. These innovations are key to tackling global challenges, from sustainable construction to energy-efficient transportation. Architected materials can replace or enhance conventional materials, reducing dependence on environmentally harmful extraction processes. They also enable performance-driven solutions, such as self-healing composites, ultra-lightweight aerospace structures, and advanced biomaterials for healthcare. The lecture will highlight cutting-edge research, showing how we can tailor properties like fracture resistance, flexibility, and thermal performance to specific needs. With computational design and advanced manufacturing, we can now create materials that were once thought impossible. Architected materials are transforming engineering and they are deemed to redefine how we think about sustainability, efficiency, and innovation in material science.

Vidste du Matematisk Kantine har aftenåbent fra 17.00-20.30? Køb kaffe og kage i pausen eller gør en tur ud af det og spis aftensmad dernede med dine elever efter foredraget. I kan også møde os dernede til en uformel snak - se efter de sorte UNF t-shirts. Bemærk at nogle aftener kan alle borde være optaget. Læs mere og bestil bord på matkant.dk

Michal K. Budzik, PhD, MSc, Eng.:
Associate Professor at Aarhus University, Department of Mechanical Engineering and Production (AU MPE), Group for Lightweight Materials and Structures (LITE). Chair of the AU MPE PhD Program and Steering Committee Member and Space Exploration Theme Leader at AU Space Center.
I received my PhD degrees from the University of Bordeaux, France, in Mechanical Engineering, and from the Gdansk University of Technology, Poland, in Materials Engineering. Following this, I worked as a post-doctoral researcher at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), The National Centre for Space Studies (CNES, France), and at Aarhus University (Denmark), where I am currently an Associate Professor. Between 2022 and 2023, I served as the R&D Manager at The LEGO Group Materials. My primary research interest is situated at the intersection of fracture mechanics, topology, and geometry, with a focus on applications in composite materials and multimaterial adhesive bonding.
