🌐 Abstract

Porous materials inspired by nature have become a transformative class of interdisciplinary research and technology across biomedical, environmental and engineering applications. 
Inspired by organisms such as bones, bamboo, coral reefs, beehives, sea urchins, and others, these materials feature hierarchical architectures, adjustable permeability, and exceptional mechanical properties.
This presentation highlights recent advances in mathematical modeling and fabricating nature-inspired porous structures, focusing on their development from biomimetic concepts to scalable engineering solutions. Computational approaches like finite element analysis, isogeometric analysis, topology optimization, and generative design algorithms enable prediction and control  of mechanical behavior, fluid transport, and structural integrity across multiscales. Meanwhile, innovations in additive manufacturing and biofabrication technologies have enhanced the ability to create complex porous structures with high precision and functionality. These developments have led to new approaches in designing tissue scaffolds, filtration membranes and lightweight composites. Combining optimal modeling and fabrication methods has facilitated rapid prototyping and material customization, opening new pathways for sustainable and adaptive architectures. 
The discussion addresses key challenges, including reproducibility, computational costs, and material limitations. 
We proposes an integrated framework that integrates biologically inspired design principles with data-driven machine learning and multi-scale simulation. 
By linking natural models with engineered innovation, nature-inspired porous materials are poised to revolutionize structural performance and resource efficiency in the next generation of advanced smart materials. This talk focuses on TPMS-based bioinspired materials, although extending this to other structures is straightforward.
In conclusion, the talk also points out insights into future directions and recommendations for further progress.
