About Michael J. Taylor

Michael Taylor joined Santa Clara University in 2015. His research is in the area of computational solid mechanics with a focus on thin structures and parallel computing. Recent projects include modeling rupture in biomembranes and analysis of auxetic metamaterials.

Michael has a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University (2003) as well as M.S. (2005) and Ph.D. (2008) degrees in Mechanical Engineering from U.C. Berkeley. Prior to joining SCU, Michael was a Mechanical Specialist at Northrop Grumman Marine Systems (Sunnyvale, CA) working on the structural dynamics of missile launching systems. This was followed by a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Harvard Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, which included research in auxetic structures for gas turbine applications for Rolls-Royce Energy (now a part of Siemens).
