Congratulations to Pembroke Fellow Professor Vikram Deshpande (1999), who has been awarded an Advanced Grant by European Research Council (ERC). Vikram's grant will support his research project into 'graph-based learning and design of advanced mechanical metamaterials'. cam.ac.uk/stories/cambri…

Our researchers have identified the criteria needed to develop tough and damage-tolerant mechanical #metamaterials eng.cam.ac.uk/news/unlocking… This will enable the selection of optimal structural metamaterials for applications ranging from battery electrodes to thermal insulation

Thank you Society of Engineering Science !

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬🥳 Dr Alberto Ippolito [email protected] on your 𝐏𝐡𝐃. It has been a great pleasure to have you in our lab. We wish you good luck for your postdoc at The 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧 𝐇𝐨𝐩𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 School of Medicine.👏

Congratulations🎉Dr Angkur Shaikeea Angkur for receiving the prestigious 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐧 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐅𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 for research at Harvard University Harvard SEAS🙌 His PhD work was recently published in Nature Materials (go.nature.com/3GBK2Vh) We wish him all the best😊

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 Ivan Grega on securing the 3rd Prize in the UK national levels of #YPLC2022 The Institute of Materials, Minerals & Mining. We are proud to see recognition of your masters thesis in the presentation. Very well done 👏 Keep it up 👍 Engineering Dept
