Research Group Computational Mechanics (Legato)

Research by the Legato Team

Legato develops quality-controlled computational modelling tools to support the world in developing intuition on the behaviour of complex systems. Their impact has been far-reaching, including highly cited academic papers, collaborating with over 30 companies, and the creation of two spin-off companies. We also developed open-source software, contributed to policy-making, and trained students.

Innovative solutions through intuitive modelling

Research with high-impact

The Legato Research Team, founded in 2013 by Professor Stéphane P. A. Bordas, is a multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural team that develops quality-controlled computational modelling tools to support the world in developing intuition on the behaviour of complex systems. Their impact has been far-reaching, including highly cited academic papers in Engineering, Computer Science, and Cross Field since 2015, helping over 30 companies with innovation road maps, and the creation of two spin-off companies. The team has also developed open-source software, contributed to policy-making, and trained students worldwide. Professor Bordas has been active in disseminating the work of the Legato Team through podcasts and the organization of high-quality international conferences throughout the world.
