To achieve durable materials for a sustainable society, microscale damage and failure must be understood and controlled.
Research profile
Johan Hoefnagels is Professor in micromechanics in the section Mechanics of Materials. His research group focuses on unraveling the mechanics of a material system on the micronscale by integration of micro-mechanical testing with microscopic characterization and integration of experiments with numerical simulations. Topics of particular interest include ductile damage and fracture, delamination and interface mechanics, miniaturization and size effects, thin film mechanics and MEMS, flexible and stretchable electronics, and hybrid and multi-phase materials.

Academic background
Johan Hoefnagels obtained his MSc and PhD in Applied Physics at TU/e, with a PhD thesis on advanced optical diagnostics of surface processes during thin film deposition. After his PhD he made a dramatic switch to become assistant professor in the field of ‘experimental micromechanics’ at the department of mechanical engineering, where he later became associate professor and head of his research group. He leads the ‘Multi-Scale lab’ dedicated to ‘integrated micromechanical testing’, which is one of the 10 strategic labs of the TU/e.
Johan has (co-)authored ~135 journal publications (of which ~50% as corresponding author) and ~100 refereed proceedings/book contributions. At international conferences, he has given ~155 presentations, of which around a third on invitation, and organized ~20 research symposia. He has over two years of international research experience, built up during international visits to, amongst others, IMEC (Leuven, Belgium), SUNY (Albany, USA), NIST (Gaithersburg, USA), CSM (Golden, USA), and Harvard University (Cambridge, USA). He is Editor-in-Chief of scientific Journal Strain (impact factor 2.2) and Dutch representative of the European Structural Integrity Society (ESIS).
