the chemical and microstructural signature of peri-implantitis on titanium implants' surface
Peri-implantitis is a severe problem of dental implants in which bone regression can reach a point where you need to extract the implant and threads become visible. A disease that affects roughly 30% of the implantees and that has no cure yet. Many mechanisms have been invoked, related to inflammation and release of particles.

Performing static/dynamic (simple) shear tests of metals
is always tricky and fraught with many assumptions. We examine here our Shear Compression 0 (SCS0) specimen through a detailed numerical analysis, and review its advantages and limitations. The paper, co-authored with Itay Levin, is in press in Experimental Mechanics. Stay tuned for more... abstract: making shear simple
