Research Statement

Kuhl's research interests are in the area of biomechanics with a special focus on growth and remodeling. She is particularly concerned with the development of appropriate enhanced continuum models based on multiscale considerations carrying information from the cell to the tissue level. Her research is driven by the vision to provide efficient problem specific robust computational algorithms based on these models that will help to provide further understanding and ultimately improve patient specific medical treatment.
