We had a blast at our Crosby Group summer barbecue this Friday! 🎉🍔Delicious burgers, lots of fun and great company! Check out our wave-like jump this time—synchronization might need some work, but we nailed the fun! 🌊😂 #SummerFun #Lablife #JumpTradition

Congrats Ben Ben Greenvall and Greg Greg Grason on the new paper!

A postdoc position in the area of soft electronics and integration is immediately available in my group at #VirginiaTech. The research will focus on fabrication, evaluation, and implementation of liquid metal-based soft devices. Please share! Apply: careers.pageuppeople.com/968/cw/en-us/j…

Excited to share that our work on "Probing Electrocatalytic Synergy in Graphene/MoS2/Nickel Networks for Water Splitting through a Combined Experimental and Theoretical Lens" has been published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces! Check it out pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Great talks on polymer synthesis, mechanical properties, and bioengineering on Friday by the UMass ASCENDS REU students! Front and center group: Dulciana Davis from Spelman, Shamona Morris from Howard U, Vincente Do from Xavier U Louisiana, and Kenneth Seals from Alcorn State.

Dulcie, our summer researcher from Spelman through PSE ASCENDS program, worked on mechanical testing of hair to understand effects of different treatments. She gave an awesome talk at #ASCENDS2024 symposium: "Advancing Hair-Typing with Mechanical Analysis." Great job! #science

Check out our work towards this goal on Liquid metal‐elastomer composites for water‐resilient soft electronics published in the Polymer Science & Engineering Dept @ UMass Amherst special issue in Journal of Polymer Science ! doi.org/10.1002/pol.20…

Seminars begin this Thursday, September 5th! Join us for the Annual Stein Lecture given by Prof. Rachel Segalman from UCBS, "Using bioinspired polypeptoids to understand how chain shape influences self-assembly and to design new materials." Refreshments at 11:00am in LGRT 1681.

We are excited to welcome Professor James Walsh from UMass Department of Chemistry to kick off the Polymer Science & Engineering Dept @ UMass Amherst Friday fall seminar series!

We're glad to have you back Polymer Science & Engineering Dept @ UMass Amherst - and we welcome Carter Research group to the X #materials #polymer #science community! 🤗

We had beautiful weather for our Polymer Science & Engineering Dept @ UMass Amherst fall semester welcome picnic! 🌞

Professor Seunghyun Sim UCI Chemistry UC Irvine School of Physical Sciences will lecture this Friday on Molecular Assembly of Living Materials. All are welcome to attend!

Congrats to James Nicolas Pagaduan, Le Zhou Todd Emrick, @Katsumata_R, Tom Russell and colleagues!

Join us! We are excited to have Rui Wang, Assistant Prof of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering College of Chemistry - investigating theoretical #polymers and #softmaterials! More info on Rui's research ➡️ tyokokur.github.io/rwgrp/research…
