Experimental quantification of dynamotropism and hydropatterning plant root responses
This project aims at investigating the impact of mechanical bending and hydropatterning on riparian plant cuttings to develop asymmetric biomass density under environmental stimuli.

Biomechanical resistance of asymmetric root structures to static uprooting and flow erosion
This project focuses on the effects that asymmetric root architecture has on the uprooting biomechanics both as far as static pullout and erosion by flow are concerned.
