Heidi P. Feigenbaum is a Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Arizona. She received her Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of California at Davis in 2008, working under Dr. Yannis Dafalias. Her areas of interest include plasticity modeling, smart materials, solid mechanics, computational mechanics, biomechanics, continuum mechanics, and related areas.
The Feigenbaum Research Group studies a wide variety of topics in theoretical and applied mechanics, including, but not limited to, plastic deformation of materials, adaptive materials, structural mechanics, continuum mechanics, biomechanics, and biomimetics. We are part of Northern Arizona University's Department of Mechanical Engineering, located in beautiful Flagstaff, AZ.

I received funding from the National Science Foundation for "BRITE Pivot: Using Fracture Mechanics to Study Childbirth after an Episiotomy".Â
Our group is part of the Department of Energy-funded MissionDAC project led by Dr. Jennifer Wade and the Climate Solutions Engineering Lab


I am always looking for students!
If you are interested in becoming part of this group, we are always looking for new students. There are several graduate programs at Northern Arizona University (NAU) in which students can enroll:
If you would like any more information about any of these programs, please do not hesitate to contact us.
