testing of engineering materials inspired from
nature. Projects include mechanics of seashells,
bone, natural interfaces and adhesives, and fish
scales. Professor Barthelat and his team have also
developed new nacre-like materials and bio-
inspired fibers for composites. He has won a num-
ber of awards, including the Hetenyi Award for
the best research article in the journal
